## `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
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"<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
|
|
