# HTTP Listener v2 Input Plugin
|
|
|
|
HTTP Listener v2 is a service input plugin that listens for metrics sent via
|
|
HTTP. Metrics may be sent in any supported [data format][data_format].
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The plugin previously known as `http_listener` has been renamed
|
|
`influxdb_listener`. If you would like Telegraf to act as a proxy/relay for
|
|
InfluxDB it is recommended to use [`influxdb_listener`][influxdb_listener].
|
|
|
|
### Configuration:
|
|
|
|
This is a sample configuration for the plugin.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[inputs.http_listener_v2]]
|
|
## Address and port to host HTTP listener on
|
|
service_address = ":8080"
|
|
|
|
## Path to listen to.
|
|
# path = "/telegraf"
|
|
|
|
## HTTP methods to accept.
|
|
# methods = ["POST", "PUT"]
|
|
|
|
## maximum duration before timing out read of the request
|
|
# read_timeout = "10s"
|
|
## maximum duration before timing out write of the response
|
|
# write_timeout = "10s"
|
|
|
|
## Maximum allowed http request body size in bytes.
|
|
## 0 means to use the default of 524,288,000 bytes (500 mebibytes)
|
|
# max_body_size = "500MB"
|
|
|
|
## Set one or more allowed client CA certificate file names to
|
|
## enable mutually authenticated TLS connections
|
|
# tls_allowed_cacerts = ["/etc/telegraf/clientca.pem"]
|
|
|
|
## Add service certificate and key
|
|
# tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
|
|
# tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
|
|
|
|
## Optional username and password to accept for HTTP basic authentication.
|
|
## You probably want to make sure you have TLS configured above for this.
|
|
# basic_username = "foobar"
|
|
# basic_password = "barfoo"
|
|
|
|
## Data format to consume.
|
|
## 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_INPUT.md
|
|
data_format = "influx"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Metrics:
|
|
|
|
Metrics are created from the request body and are dependant on the value of `data_format`.
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting:
|
|
|
|
**Send Line Protocol**
|
|
```
|
|
curl -i -XPOST 'http://localhost:8080/telegraf' --data-binary 'cpu_load_short,host=server01,region=us-west value=0.64 1434055562000000000'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Send JSON**
|
|
```
|
|
curl -i -XPOST 'http://localhost:8080/telegraf' --data-binary '{"value1": 42, "value2": 42}'
|
|
```
