=============
Influx Module 
=============

The influx module continuously collects and sends time series data to an
influxdb database.

The influx module was introduced in the 13.x *Mimic* release.

--------
Enabling 
--------

To enable the module, use the following command:

::

    ceph mgr module enable influx

If you wish to subsequently disable the module, you can use the equivalent
*disable* command:

::

    ceph mgr module disable influx

-------------
Configuration 
-------------

For the influx module to send statistics to an InfluxDB server, it
is necessary to configure the servers address and some authentication
credentials.

Set configuration values using the following command:

::

    ceph config set mgr mgr/influx/<key> <value>


The most important settings are ``hostname``, ``username`` and ``password``.  
For example, a typical configuration might look like this:

::

    ceph config set mgr mgr/influx/hostname influx.mydomain.com
    ceph config set mgr mgr/influx/username admin123
    ceph config set mgr mgr/influx/password p4ssw0rd
    
Additional optional configuration settings are:

:interval: Time between reports to InfluxDB.  Default 30 seconds.
:database: InfluxDB database name.  Default "ceph".  You will need to create this database and grant write privileges to the configured username or the username must have admin privileges to create it.  
:port: InfluxDB server port.  Default 8086
:ssl: Use https connection for InfluxDB server. Use "true" or "false". Default false
:verify_ssl: Verify https cert for InfluxDB server. Use "true" or "false". Default true
:threads: How many worker threads should be spawned for sending data to InfluxDB. Default is 5
:batch_size: How big batches of data points should be when sending to InfluxDB. Default is 5000

---------
Debugging 
---------

By default, a few debugging statements as well as error statements have been set to print in the log files. Users can add more if necessary.
To make use of the debugging option in the module:

- Add this to the ceph.conf file.::

    [mgr]
        debug_mgr = 20  

- Use this command ``ceph influx self-test``.
- Check the log files. Users may find it easier to filter the log files using *mgr[influx]*.
