Added ssl support for influxdb database

Fixing bug #48.

Two new parameters are available in the configuration file:

influxdb_secure=true
influxdb_skip_cert_check=true

influxdb_skip_cert_check should be used only if you created a self-signed certificate.

Dashboards available on grafana.com

Multiple ready-to-use dashboards are available on grafana.com

The following dashboards are available:

• AIX NMON report
• AIX NMON Individual disks
• Power Systems HMC partition view
• Power Systems HMC system view

Since switching to influxdb client v2 API, import had a huge performance degradation.
It's recommended to upgrade to this version.

pull requests

• PR #1 Dashboard.go changed to also processed .gz files from @eirikrvw.

  It allows to generate Grafana dashboards from gzipped nmon files like standard nmon files.

enhancements

• issue #35 Added support for configuration file in /etc/nmon2influxdb:

  nmon2influxdb will first check if the configuration file /etc/nmon2influxdb/nmon2influxdb.cfg exists before checking in user's home directory.

• issue #38 improved debugging:

  • Log messages use the golang log package now.
  • Added timestamps.
  • Removed duplicate messages for skipped metrics in nmon import.

  New option debug-file redirect output to text file:

  nmon2influxdb --debug-file="debugfile" hmc import
  

  No need to specify the debug option when debug-file is specified.

  Configuration parameters are displayed sanitized in the debug output. Users and passwords are replaced by "secretuser" and "secret":

• issue #39 unable to generate default configuration file since tagging addition

Custom Tags

add custom tags to your data by adding a input section in the configuration file:

[[input]]
  Measurement="PartitionProcessor"
  Name="partition"
  Match="adxlpar"
  [[input.tag]]
    Name="datacenter"
    Value="DC1"

Custom tags are added at import time.
It will add a tag named datacenter with value DC1 if the tag partition in the measurement PartitionProcessor match the regular expression adxlpar.

Attribute's description:

• Measurement: it's the measurement where an additional tag could be added
• Name: name of the tag to check
• Match: the regular expression used to check the tag value. No need to put the regular expression between '/' characters.

More informations on the configuration file page.

enhancements

• added serial tag to nmon files to permit grouping by managed system.
• added information message if retention policy is set.
• added error message on configuration file syntax error.
