appmetrics receiver

The appmetrics receiver can be used to submit metrics from an application into the monitoring system. It listens for incoming connections on a UNIX socket.

Configuration structure

{
  "<name>": {
    "type": "appmetrics",
    "socket_file" : "/tmp/cc.sock",
  }
}
  • type: makes the receiver a appmetrics receiver
  • socket_file: Listen UNIX socket

Inputs from applications

Applcations can connect to the appmetrics socket and provide metric in the InfluxDB line protocol. It is currently not possible to submit meta information as the Influx line protocol does not know them.
