# HTTP JSON Plugin
|
|
|
|
The httpjson plugin can collect data from remote URLs which respond with JSON. Then it flattens JSON and finds all numeric values, treating them as floats.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you have a service called _mycollector_, which has HTTP endpoint for gathering stats at http://my.service.com/_stats, you would configure the HTTP JSON
|
|
plugin like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[[httpjson.services]]
|
|
name = "mycollector"
|
|
|
|
servers = [
|
|
"http://my.service.com/_stats"
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
# HTTP method to use (case-sensitive)
|
|
method = "GET"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`name` is used as a prefix for the measurements.
|
|
|
|
`method` specifies HTTP method to use for requests.
|
|
|
|
You can also specify which keys from server response should be considered tags:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[[httpjson.services]]
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
tag_keys = [
|
|
"role",
|
|
"version"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also specify additional request parameters for the service:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[[httpjson.services]]
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
[httpjson.services.parameters]
|
|
event_type = "cpu_spike"
|
|
threshold = "0.75"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also specify additional request header parameters for the service:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[[httpjson.services]]
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
[httpjson.services.headers]
|
|
X-Auth-Token = "my-xauth-token"
|
|
apiVersion = "v1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Example:
|
|
|
|
Let's say that we have a service named "mycollector" configured like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[httpjson]
|
|
[[httpjson.services]]
|
|
name = "mycollector"
|
|
|
|
servers = [
|
|
"http://my.service.com/_stats"
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
# HTTP method to use (case-sensitive)
|
|
method = "GET"
|
|
|
|
tag_keys = ["service"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
which responds with the following JSON:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"service": "service01",
|
|
"a": 0.5,
|
|
"b": {
|
|
"c": "some text",
|
|
"d": 0.1,
|
|
"e": 5
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The collected metrics will be:
|
|
```
|
|
httpjson_mycollector_a,service='service01',server='http://my.service.com/_stats' value=0.5
|
|
httpjson_mycollector_b_d,service='service01',server='http://my.service.com/_stats' value=0.1
|
|
httpjson_mycollector_b_e,service='service01',server='http://my.service.com/_stats' value=5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Example 2, Multiple Services:
|
|
|
|
There is also the option to collect JSON from multiple services, here is an
|
|
example doing that.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[httpjson]
|
|
[[httpjson.services]]
|
|
name = "mycollector1"
|
|
|
|
servers = [
|
|
"http://my.service1.com/_stats"
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
# HTTP method to use (case-sensitive)
|
|
method = "GET"
|
|
|
|
[[httpjson.services]]
|
|
name = "mycollector2"
|
|
|
|
servers = [
|
|
"http://service.net/json/stats"
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
# HTTP method to use (case-sensitive)
|
|
method = "POST"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The services respond with the following JSON:
|
|
|
|
mycollector1:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"a": 0.5,
|
|
"b": {
|
|
"c": "some text",
|
|
"d": 0.1,
|
|
"e": 5
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
mycollector2:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"load": 100,
|
|
"users": 1335
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The collected metrics will be:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
httpjson_mycollector1_a,server='http://my.service.com/_stats' value=0.5
|
|
httpjson_mycollector1_b_d,server='http://my.service.com/_stats' value=0.1
|
|
httpjson_mycollector1_b_e,server='http://my.service.com/_stats' value=5
|
|
|
|
httpjson_mycollector2_load,server='http://service.net/json/stats' value=100
|
|
httpjson_mycollector2_users,server='http://service.net/json/stats' value=1335
|
|
```
