============= Influx Plugin ============= The influx plugin continuously collects and sends time series data to an influxdb database. The influx plugin 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/ 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 5 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 --------- Debugging --------- By default, a few debugging statments 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 tell mgr. influx self-test``. - Check the log files. Users may find it easier to filter the log files using *mgr[influx]*. -------------------- Interesting counters -------------------- The following tables describe a subset of the values output by this module. ^^^^^ Pools ^^^^^ +---------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ |Counter | Description | +===============+=====================================================+
