# Stackdriver Output Plugin
|
|
|
|
This plugin writes to the [Google Cloud Stackdriver API](https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/v3/)
|
|
and requires [authentication](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started) with Google Cloud using either a service account or user credentials. See the [Stackdriver documentation](https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver/pricing#stackdriver_monitoring_services) for details on pricing.
|
|
|
|
Requires `project` to specify where Stackdriver metrics will be delivered to.
|
|
|
|
Metrics are grouped by the `namespace` variable and metric key - eg: `custom.googleapis.com/telegraf/system/load5`
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[outputs.stackdriver]]
|
|
# GCP Project
|
|
project = "erudite-bloom-151019"
|
|
|
|
# The namespace for the metric descriptor
|
|
namespace = "telegraf"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Restrictions
|
|
|
|
Stackdriver does not support string values in custom metrics, any string
|
|
fields will not be written.
