Zack Zatkin-Gold dd537b3382 Fix telegraf example arguments (#2788) 
Many of the examples provided within documentation are using a single
dash for the command line arguments, but the telegraf executable
explicitly has two dashes.

There are also some inconsistencies with the ordering of the command
line argument examples.  I've ordered them so that the examples will
show: config, config-directory, input-filter, test

Ping Input plugin

This input plugin will measures the round-trip

Configuration:

# NOTE: this plugin forks the ping command. You may need to set capabilities
# via setcap cap_net_raw+p /bin/ping
[[inputs.ping]]
## List of urls to ping
urls = ["www.google.com"] # required
## number of pings to send per collection (ping -c <COUNT>)
# count = 1
## interval, in s, at which to ping. 0 == default (ping -i <PING_INTERVAL>)
# ping_interval = 1.0
## per-ping timeout, in s. 0 == no timeout (ping -W <TIMEOUT>)
# timeout = 1.0
## interface to send ping from (ping -I <INTERFACE>)
# interface = ""

Measurements & Fields:

  • packets_transmitted ( from ping output )
  • reply_received ( increasing only on valid metric from echo replay, eg. 'Destination net unreachable' reply will increment packets_received but not reply_received )
  • packets_received ( from ping output )
  • percent_reply_loss ( compute from packets_transmitted and reply_received )
  • percent_packets_loss ( compute from packets_transmitted and packets_received )
  • errors ( when host can not be found or wrong prameters is passed to application )
  • response time
    • average_response_ms ( compute from minimum_response_ms and maximum_response_ms )
    • minimum_response_ms ( from ping output )
    • maximum_response_ms ( from ping output )

Tags:

  • host
  • url

Example Output:

$ ./telegraf --config telegraf.conf --input-filter ping --test
