Config options - -| Name | Description | Default | Required | -|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:| -| enabled | Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes/no). | no | yes | -| destination | Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics. | no | yes | -| username | Username for HTTP authentication | my_username | no | -| password | Password for HTTP authentication | my_password | no | -| data source | Selects the kind of data that will be sent to the external database. (as collected/average/sum) | | no | -| hostname | The hostname to be used for sending data to the external database server. | [global].hostname | no | -| prefix | The prefix to add to all metrics. | netdata | no | -| update every | Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds. | 10 | no | -| buffer on failures | The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available. | 10 | no | -| timeout ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the external database server to process the data. | 20000 | no | -| send hosts matching | Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns). | localhost * | no | -| send charts matching | One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name. | * | no | -| send names instead of ids | Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes/no). | | no | -| send configured labels | Controls if host labels defined in the `[host labels]` section in `netdata.conf` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no | -| send automatic labels | Controls if automatically created labels, like `_os_name` or `_architecture` should be sent to the external database (yes/no). | | no | - -##### destination - -The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT]. -- PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine. -- IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port. -- PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used. - -Example IPv4: - ```yaml - destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:2003 - ``` -Example IPv6 and IPv4 together: -```yaml -destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003 -``` -When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails. - - -##### update every - -Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers -send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent. - - -##### buffer on failures - -If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it). - - -##### send hosts matching - -Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern). -The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to -filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts. - -A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`, -use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative). - - -##### send charts matching - -A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads, -use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used, -positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter -has a higher priority than the configuration option. - - -##### send names instead of ids - -Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names -are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are -different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc. - - -
- -#### Examples - -##### Example configuration - -Basic example configuration for Prometheus remote write. - -```yaml -[prometheus_remote_write:my_instance] - enabled = yes - destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 - remote write URL path = /receive - -``` -##### Example configuration with HTTPS and HTTP authentication - -Add `:https` modifier to the connector type if you need to use the TLS/SSL protocol. For example: `remote_write:https:my_instance`. - -```yaml -[prometheus_remote_write:https:my_instance] - enabled = yes - destination = 10.11.14.2:2003 - remote write URL path = /receive - username = my_username - password = my_password - -``` - -- cgit v1.2.3
