InfluxDB

Supported pipeline types:

  • Data Collector

  • Data Collector Edge
The InfluxDB destination writes data to InfluxDB 0.9 - 1.x. To write to InfluxDB 2.x, use the InfluxDB 2.x destination. For information about supported versions, see Supported Systems and VersionsSupported Systems and Versions in the Data Collector documentation.

When you configure the InfluxDB destination, you define connection information, the retention policy, and the fields to use as tags on points. If InfluxDB is set up on a cluster, you can also define the write consistency level.

You can use a UDP Source origin to read collectd messages, process the data, and then write the messages to InfluxDB in the collectd native format. If you use an origin that reads a different data format, you must map the records to points in the InfluxDB database.
