CrateDB Output Plugin

This plugin writes metrics to CrateDB via its PostgreSQL protocol.

⭐ Telegraf v1.5.0 🏷️ cloud, datastore 💻 all

Table Schema

The plugin requires a table with the following schema.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS my_metrics (
  "hash_id" LONG INDEX OFF,
  "timestamp" TIMESTAMP,
  "name" STRING,
  "tags" OBJECT(DYNAMIC),
  "fields" OBJECT(DYNAMIC),
  "day" TIMESTAMP GENERATED ALWAYS AS date_trunc('day', "timestamp"),
  PRIMARY KEY ("timestamp", "hash_id","day")
) PARTITIONED BY("day");

The plugin can create this table for you automatically via the table_create config option, see below.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Startup error behavior options

In addition to the plugin-specific and global configuration settings the plugin supports options for specifying the behavior when experiencing startup errors using the startup_error_behavior setting. Available values are:

  • error: Telegraf with stop and exit in case of startup errors. This is the default behavior.
  • ignore: Telegraf will ignore startup errors for this plugin and disables it but continues processing for all other plugins.
  • retry: Telegraf will try to startup the plugin in every gather or write cycle in case of startup errors. The plugin is disabled until the startup succeeds.
