Sink specific configuration maps (#25)

* Use sink-specific configurations to have more flexibility. Adjust sample sink configuration files

* Add documentation

* Add links to individual sink readmes

* Fix link in README

* HTTPS for HttpSink

* If no CPU die id available, use the socket id instead

# Available sinks:
- [`stdout`](./stdoutSink.md): Print all metrics to `stdout`, `stderr` or a file
- [`http`](./httpSink.md): Send metrics to an HTTP server as POST requests
- [`influxdb`](./influxSink.md): Send metrics to an [InfluxDB](https://www.influxdata.com/products/influxdb/) database
- [`nats`](./natsSink.md): Publish metrics to the [NATS](https://nats.io/) network overlay system
- [`ganglia`](./gangliaSink.md): Publish metrics in the [Ganglia Monitoring System](http://ganglia.info/)
# Configuration
The configuration file for the sinks is a list of configurations. The `type` field in each specifies which sink to initialize.
```json
[
{
"mystdout" : {
"type" : "stdout",
"meta_as_tags" : false
},
{
"metricstore" : {
"type" : "http",

This example initializes two sinks, the `stdout` sink printing all metrics to the STDOUT and the `http` sink with the given `host`, `port`, `database` and `password`.
If `meta_as_tags` is set, all meta information attached to CCMetric are printed out as tags.
## Type `stdout`
```json
{
"type" : "stdout",
"meta_as_tags" : <true|false>
}
```
The `stdout` sink dumps all metrics to the STDOUT.
## Type `http`
```json
{
"type" : "http",
"host" : "<hostname>",
"port" : "<portnumber>",
"database" : "<database name>",
"password" : "<jwt token>",
"meta_as_tags" : <true|false>
}
```
The sink uses POST requests to send metrics to `http://<host>:<port>/<database>` using the JWT token as a JWT in the 'Authorization' header.
## Type `nats`
```json
{
"type" : "nats",
"host" : "<hostname>",
"port" : "<portnumber>",
"user" : "<username>",
"password" : "<password>",
"database" : "<database name>"
"meta_as_tags" : <true|false>
}
```
This sink publishes the CCMetric in a NATS environment using `host`, `port`, `user` and `password` for connecting. The metrics are published using the topic `database`.
## Type `influxdb`
```json
{
"type" : "influxdb",
"host" : "<hostname>",
"port" : "<portnumber>",
"user" : "<username>",
"password" : "<password or API key>",
"database" : "<database name>"
"organization": "<InfluxDB v2 organization>",
"ssl" : <true|false>,
"meta_as_tags" : <true|false>
}
```
This sink submits the CCMetrics to an InfluxDB time-series database. It uses `host`, `port` and `ssl` for connecting. For authentification, it uses either `user:password` if `user` is set and only `password` as API key. The `organization` and `database` are used for writing to the correct database.
# Contributing own sinks
A sink contains three functions and is derived from the type `Sink`:
* `Init(config SinkConfig) error`
A sink contains four functions and is derived from the type `sink`:
* `Init(config json.RawMessage) error`
* `Write(point CCMetric) error`
* `Flush() error`
* `Close()`
@@ -97,3 +42,52 @@ A sink contains three functions and is derived from the type `Sink`:
The data structures should be set up in `Init()` like opening a file or server connection. The `Write()` function writes/sends the data. For non-blocking sinks, the `Flush()` method tells the sink to drain its internal buffers. The `Close()` function should tear down anything created in `Init()`.
Finally, the sink needs to be registered in the `sinkManager.go`. There is a list of sinks called `AvailableSinks` which is a map (`sink_type_string` -> `pointer to sink interface`). Add a new entry with a descriptive name and the new sink.
## Sample sink
```go
package sinks
import (
"encoding/json"
"log"
lp "github.com/ClusterCockpit/cc-metric-collector/internal/ccMetric"
)
type SampleSinkConfig struct {
defaultSinkConfig // defines JSON tags for 'name' and 'meta_as_tags'
}
type SampleSink struct {
sink // declarate 'name' and 'meta_as_tags'
config StdoutSinkConfig // entry point to the SampleSinkConfig
}
// Initialize the sink by giving it a name and reading in the config JSON
func (s *SampleSink) Init(config json.RawMessage) error {
s.name = "SampleSink" // Always specify a name here
// Read in the config JSON
if len(config) > 0 {
err := json.Unmarshal(config, &s.config)
if err != nil {
return err
}
}
return nil
}
// Code to submit a single CCMetric to the sink
func (s *SampleSink) Write(point lp.CCMetric) error {
log.Print(point)
return nil
}
// If the sink uses batched sends internally, you can tell to flush its buffers
func (s *SampleSink) Flush() error {
return nil
}
// Close sink: close network connection, close files, close libraries, ...
func (s *SampleSink) Close() {}
