kairos-influx

This KairosDB plugin takes metrics sent from Telegraf in the InfluxDB Line Protocol format and writes them to KairosDB. The plugin will accept gzipped and non-gzipped data from Telegraf or any other application that writes data to InfluxDB.

Configuration

Here is a sample configuration for this plugin.

kairosdb.service.telegraf-plugin=org.kairosdb.influxdb.TelegrafModule

kairosdb.plugin.telegraf.prefix=telegraph.
kairosdb.plugin.telegraf.dropMetrics=^swap.used.*$,^kernel.interrupts$
kairosdb.plugin.telegraf.dropTags=^usage_irq$,^usage_idle$

These optional properties provide ways to manipulate or restrict the data written to KairosDB.
