http sink

The http sink uses POST requests to a HTTP server to submit the metrics in the InfluxDB line-protocol format. It uses JSON web tokens for authentification. The sink creates batches of metrics before sending, to reduce the HTTP traffic.

Configuration structure

{
  "<name>": {
    "type": "http",
    "meta_as_tags" : true,
    "database" : "mymetrics",
    "host": "dbhost.example.com",
    "port": "4222",
    "jwt" : "0x0000q231",
    "ssl" : false
  }
}
  • type: makes the sink an http 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: Portnumber (as string) of the InfluxDB database server
  • jwt: JSON web tokens for authentification
  • ssl: Activate SSL encryption
