This folder contains the receivers for the cc-metric-collector.

# `metricReceiver.go`
|
||
|
|
The base class/configuration is located in `metricReceiver.go`.

# Receivers
|
||
|
|
* `natsReceiver.go`: Receives metrics from the Nats transport system in Influx line protocol encoding. The database name is used as subscription subject for the NATS messages. It uses https://github.com/nats-io/nats.go

# Installation
|
||
|
|
Nothing to do, all receivers are pure Go code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Contributing own receivers
|
||
|
|
A receiver contains three functions and is derived from the type `Receiver` (in `metricReceiver.go`):
|
||
|
|
* `Init(config ReceiverConfig) error`
|
||
|
|
* `Start() error`
|
||
|
|
* `Close()`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The data structures should be set up in `Init()` like opening a file or server connection. The `Start()` function should either start a go routine or issue some other asynchronous mechanism for receiving metrics. The `Close()` function should tear down anything created in `Init()`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, the receiver needs to be registered in the `metric-collector.go`. There is a list of receivers called `Receivers` which is a map (string -> pointer to receiver). Add a new entry with a descriptive name and the new receiver.
