## `influxdb` sink
The `influxdb` 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 **blocking** fashion. It provides only support for V2 write endpoints (InfluxDB 1.8.0 or later).
### Configuration structure
```json
{
"<name>": {
"type": "influxdb",
"meta_as_tags" : true,
"database" : "mymetrics",
"host": "dbhost.example.com",
"port": "4222",
"user": "exampleuser",
"password" : "examplepw",
"organization": "myorg",
"ssl": true,
"flush_delay" : "1s",
"batch_size" : 1000,
"use_gzip": true
}
}
```
- `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`: Port number (as string) of the InfluxDB database server
- `user`: Username for basic authentication
- `password`: Password for basic authentication
- `organization`: Organization in the InfluxDB
- `ssl`: Use SSL connection
- `flush_delay`: Group metrics coming in to a single batch
- `batch_size`: Maximal batch size. If `batch_size` is reached before the end of `flush_delay`, the metrics are sent without further delay
Influx client options:
- `http_request_timeout`: HTTP request timeout
- `retry_interval`: retry interval
- `max_retry_interval`: maximum delay between each retry attempt
- `retry_exponential_base`: base for the exponential retry delay
- `max_retries`: maximum count of retry attempts of failed writes
- `max_retry_time`: maximum total retry timeout
- `use_gzip`: Specify whether to use GZip compression in write requests
