# Example
|
|
|
|
The `wavefront` serializer translates the Telegraf metric format to the [Wavefront Data Format](https://docs.wavefront.com/wavefront_data_format.html).
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[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
|
|
# use_strict = false
|
|
|
|
## point tags to use as the source name for Wavefront (if none found, host will be used)
|
|
# 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"
|
|
```
