Connection |
Connection that defines the information
required to connect to an external system. To connect to an external system, you can select
a connection that contains the details, or you can directly
enter the details in the pipeline. When you select a connection,
Control Hub hides other properties so that you cannot directly enter
connection details in the pipeline.
|
URL |
URL to the InfluxDB HTTP API. |
Username |
Username to access the InfluxDB database. If InfluxDB authentication is
disabled, enter any value.
|
Password |
Password to access the InfluxDB database.
If InfluxDB authentication is
disabled, enter any value.
Tip: To
secure sensitive information such as user names and passwords, you can use
runtime resources or credential
stores. For more information about credential stores, see Credential Stores in the
Data Collector documentation.
|
Database Name |
Name of the InfluxDB database. |
Retention Policy |
Name of the retention policy created for the
database. If you don't enter a value, Data Collector uses the default retention policy.
|
Consistency Level |
Write consistency level to use when InfluxDB is set up on
a cluster. Select one of the following options: any,
one, quorum, or all.
For more information about the write consistency level,
see the InfluxDB documentation.
|
Record Mapping |
Map records to points in the InfluxDB database. Select
one of the following options:
- collectd - Select if using the UDP Source origin to
read collectd data. InfluxDB accepts data written in
the collectd native format.
- Custom Mappings - Select if the origin reads another
data format. You then map specific fields in the
records to the measurement, timestamp, and key-value
fields on points.
|
Measurement Field |
If configuring a custom mapping, field to map to the
measurement on a point. |
Time Field |
If configuring a custom mapping, field to map to the
timestamp on a point. |
Time Unit |
If configuring a custom mapping, field to map to the
timestamp unit on a point. |
Value Fields |
If configuring a custom mapping, fields to map to
key-value fields on a point. |
Tag Fields |
Fields to use as tags on a point. |
Auto-create Database |
Specifies whether to create the database in InfluxDB.
Select if the named database does not exist. Not valid in Data Collector Edge pipelines. In Data Collector Edge pipelines, the destination ignores this
property.
