telegraf_plugins

I developed several input plugins of github.com/influxdata/telegraf in 2020, now archived here. New ideas and bug reporting are welcome.

The framework has been modified little bit:

• In input.go, added an interface named ServiceInputWithContext.
• In agent/agent.go, modified functions startServiceInputs and stopServiceInputs to deal with the added ServiceInputWithContext interface.

Those plugins could be classified into 2 kinds:

• modify original counter plugins to add speed rates to those counters by calculating the difference of interval.
• create new plugins to provide developing frameworks in conditions of resource pools, such as querying oracle DBs or running bash scripts.

DiskIO2 Input Plugin

DiskIO2 based on DiskIO input plugin, and added speed rate of reading and writing and aggregations of those rates.

InfiniBand2 Input Plugin

This plugin gathers statistics for all InfiniBand devices and ports on the system directly from /sys/class/infiniband, and calculates speed rates or sending and receiving.

Net2 Input Plugin

Net2 based on net input plugin, and added speed rate of sending and receiving and aggregations of those rates.

BashPool

A service to provide a pool of shells of linux bash to run script in designed linux user account, and relay stdout to output plugin

Why write this plugin other than using the original "exec" plugin

• "exec" creates a sh process and releases it each interval. When the script needs su to another user to run, and the environment preparation of the su-ed user is complicated, it will take a long time.
• BashPool adopts a strategy like a database pool. It starts bash shell with specific user environment, and recept script sent by defined items, and run and return output.

ORAQUERY

• Collect data by consistent connections to oracle dbs.
• add new collections just by config with sql.
• need a prerequisite: oracle instant client.
