## `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" : [
"meta-key"
],
"url" : "https://my-monitoring.example.com:1234/api/write",
"jwt" : "blabla.blabla.blabla",
"timeout": "5s",
"idle_connection_timeout" : "5s",
"flush_delay": "2s",
}
}
```
- `type`: makes the sink an `http` sink
- `meta_as_tags`: Move specific meta information to the tags in the output (optional)
- `url`: The full URL of the endpoint
- `jwt`: JSON web tokens for authentication (Using the *Bearer* scheme)
- `timeout`: General timeout for the HTTP client (default '5s')
- `max_retries`: Maximum number of retries to connect to the http server
- `idle_connection_timeout`: Timeout for idle connections (default '120s'). Should be larger than the measurement interval to keep the connection open
- `flush_delay`: Batch all writes arriving in during this duration (default '1s', batching can be disabled by setting it to 0)
