Wavefront
The wavefront serializer translates the Telegraf metric format to the Wavefront Data Format.
Configuration
[[outputs.file]]
files = ["stdout"]
## Use Strict rules to sanitize metric and tag names from invalid characters
## When enabled forward slash (/) and comma (,) will be accpeted
# wavefront_use_strict = false
## point tags to use as the source name for Wavefront (if none found, host will be used)
# wavefront_source_override = ["hostname", "address", "agent_host", "node_host"]
## Data format to output.
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
## more about them here:
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
data_format = "wavefront"
Metrics
A Wavefront metric is equivalent to a single field value of a Telegraf measurement.
The Wavefront metric name will be: <measurement_name>.<field_name>
If a prefix is specified it will be honored.
Only boolean and numeric metrics will be serialized, all other types will generate
an error.
Example
The following Telegraf metric
cpu,cpu=cpu0,host=testHost user=12,idle=88,system=0 1234567890
will serialize into the following Wavefront metrics
"cpu.user" 12.000000 1234567890 source="testHost" "cpu"="cpu0"
"cpu.idle" 88.000000 1234567890 source="testHost" "cpu"="cpu0"
"cpu.system" 0.000000 1234567890 source="testHost" "cpu"="cpu0"
