Telegraf

MyPerf4J 2.x and before itself does not access InfluxDB, but instead imports statistical data into InfluxDB via Telegraf by writing statistics to the log file.

Specific steps are as follows:

• Install Telegraf

• Configuring /usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf:

  # Global tags can be specified here in key="value" format.
  [global_tags]
    dc = ""
  
  # Configuration for telegraf agent
  [agent]
    ## Default data collection interval for all inputs
    interval = "1s"
    ## Rounds collection interval to 'interval'
    ## ie, if interval="10s" then always collect on :00, :10, :20, etc.
    round_interval = true
    metric_batch_size = 1000
    metric_buffer_limit = 10000
    collection_jitter = "0s"
    ## Default flushing interval for all outputs. You shouldn't set this below
    ## interval. Maximum flush_interval will be flush_interval + flush_jitter
    flush_interval = "1s"
    flush_jitter = "0s"
    precision = "ms"
    debug = false
    quiet = false
    logfile = "/tmp/telegraf.log"
    ## Override default hostname, if empty use os.Hostname()
    hostname = ""
    ## If set to true, do no set the "host" tag in the telegraf agent.
    omit_hostname = false
  
  [[outputs.influxdb]]
    urls = ["http://127.0.0.1:8086"]
    database = "MyPerf4J_Test"
    retention_policy = ""
    write_consistency = "any"
    timeout = "5s"
  
  [[inputs.tail]]
    files = ["/data/logs/MyPerf4J/metrics.log"]
    from_beginning = false
    pipe = false
    ## Method used to watch for file updates.  Can be either "inotify" or "poll".
    watch_method = "inotify"
    data_format = "influx"
