## `influxasync` sink
The `influxasync` sink uses the official [InfluxDB golang client](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-go/v2) to write the metrics to an InfluxDB database in a **non-blocking** fashion. It provides only support for V2 write endpoints (InfluxDB 1.8.0 or later).
### Configuration structure
```json
{
"<name>": {
"type": "influxasync",
"meta_as_tags" : true,
"database" : "mymetrics",
"host": "dbhost.example.com",
"port": "4222",
"user": "exampleuser",
"password" : "examplepw",
"organization": "myorg",
"ssl": true,
"batch_size": 200,
}
}
```
- `type`: makes the sink an `influxdb` sink
- `meta_as_tags`: print all meta information as tags in the output (optional)
- `database`: All metrics are written to this bucket
- `host`: Hostname of the InfluxDB database server
- `port`: Portnumber (as string) of the InfluxDB database server
- `user`: Username for basic authentification
- `password`: Password for basic authentification
- `organization`: Organization in the InfluxDB
- `ssl`: Use SSL connection
- `batch_size`: batch up metrics internally, default 100
