prometheus-influxdb-adapter

Prometheus remote storage adapter for InfluxDB.

Usage

./prometheus-influxdb-adapter

Read

Upon receiving a request from Prometheus, prometheus-influxdb-adapter sends the requet for reading samples to the InfluxDB RPC server. The address of the RPC server (default is :8082) can be specified using --read.influxdb.rpc-address flag.

./prometheus-influxdb-adapter --read.influxdb.rpc-address=influxdb.example.com:8082

Points are read from prometheus database and the default retention policy by default.

./prometheus-influxdb-adapter --read.influxdb.database db1 --read.influxdb.retention-policy=policy1

If you specify multiple retention policies prefixed with duration, prometheus-influxdb-adapter selects one based on the duration and the interval step of the request. For example,

./prometheus-influxdb-adapter --read.influxdb.retention-policy=1h:1h --read.influxdb.retention-policy=5m:5m --read.influxdb.retention-policy=1m

1h retention policy is used if the interval step of the request is smaller than 1 hour, and 5m retention policy is used if the step is bigger than 5 minutes and smaller than 1 hour and 1m is used if the step is smaller than 1 minute or not given.

Note: The interval step in the request is available only if you are running the Prometheus server built from master at the moment.

You can also change the field (default is value field) in InfluxDB to read the value from.

./prometheus-influxdb-adapter --read.influxdb.field=field1

If you prefix the field with a Prometheus's function name, the field is used only if the function name given in the request matches the function name specified.

./prometheus-influxdb-adapter --read.influxdb.field=max_over_time:max --read.influxdb.field=min_over_time:min --read.influxdb.field=sum_over_time:sum --read.influxdb.field=mean

Note: The function name in the request is available only if you are running the Prometheus server built from master at the moment.

Write

By default, prometheus-influxdb-adapter sends points to http://localhost:8086. You can change it using the --write.influxdb.url flag.

./prometheus-influxdb-adapter --write.influxdb.url=http://influxdb.example.com:8086

Points are written into prometheus database with the default retention policy by default.

./prometheus-influxdb-adapter --write.influxdb.database=db1 --wirte.influxdb.retention-policy=policy1

You can also change the field (default is value field) in InfluxDB for storing the value.

./prometheus-influxdb-adapter --write.influxdb.field=field1
