nats sink

The nats sink publishes all metrics into a NATS network. The publishing key is the database name provided in the configuration file

Configuration structure

{
  "<name>": {
    "type": "nats",
    "database" : "mymetrics",
    "host": "dbhost.example.com",
    "port": "4222",
    "user": "exampleuser",
    "password" : "examplepw",
    "nkey_file": "/path/to/nkey_file",
    "flush_delay": "10s",
    "precision": "s",
    "process_messages" : {
      "see" : "docs of message processor for valid fields"
    },
    "meta_as_tags" : []
  }
}
  • type: makes the sink an nats sink
  • database: All metrics are published with this subject
  • host: Hostname of the NATS server
  • port: Port number (as string) of the NATS server
  • user: Username for basic authentication
  • password: Password for basic authentication
  • nkey_file: Path to credentials file with NKEY
  • flush_delay: Maximum time until metrics are sent out
  • precision: Precision of the timestamp. Valid values are 's', 'ms', 'us' and 'ns'. (default is 's')
  • process_messages: Process messages with given rules before progressing or dropping, see here (optional)
  • meta_as_tags: print all meta information as tags in the output (deprecated, optional)

Using nats sink for communication with cc-metric-store

The cc-metric-store only accepts metrics with a timestamp precision in seconds, so it is required to use "precision": "s".
