Telemetry

Simple lightweight API that accepts a POST request with a JSON payload that is written directly into InfluxDB.

Usage

This task is configured by the following environment variables:

INFLUX_URL       # InfluxDB URL
INFLUX_USERNAME  # username to connect to InfluxDB
INFLUX_PASSWORD  # password for given user
INFLUX_DATABASE  # Influx database to store telemetry
INFLUX_PRECISION # precision of data point
RUN_ONCE         # used for unit testing to not start the http server

Example

curl -XPOST http://127.0.0.1:3000/ -d '{"tags": {"cpu": "cpu-total"}, "fields": {"idle": 10.1,"system": 53.3,"user": 46.6}, "point": "cpu_usage"}}'
