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

|

{
|

|

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.

|

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.
