Input and output integration overview
<p>The OPC UA plugin provides an interface for retrieving data from OPC UA server devices, facilitating effective data collection and monitoring.</p>
<p>The OpenTSDB plugin facilitates the integration of Telegraf with OpenTSDB, allowing users to push time-series metrics to an OpenTSDB backend seamlessly.</p>
Integration details
OPC UA
<p>The OPC UA Plugin retrieves data from devices that communicate using the OPC UA protocol, allowing you to collect and monitor data from your OPC UA servers.</p>
OpenTSDB
<p>The OpenTSDB plugin is designed to send metrics to an OpenTSDB instance using either the telnet or HTTP mode. With the introduction of OpenTSDB 2.0, the recommended method for sending metrics is via the HTTP API, which allows for batch processing of metrics by configuring the ‘http_batch_size’. The plugin supports several configuration options including metrics prefixing, server host and port specification, URI path customization for reverse proxies, and debug options for diagnosing communication issues with OpenTSDB. This plugin is particularly useful in scenarios where time series data is generated and needs to be efficiently stored in a scalable time series database like OpenTSDB, making it suitable for a wide range of monitoring and analytics applications.</p>

Input and output integration examples
OPC UA
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Basic Configuration</strong>: Set up the plugin with your OPC UA server endpoint and desired metrics. This allows Telegraf to start gathering metrics from the configured nodes.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Node ID Setup</strong>: Use the configuration to specify specific nodes, such as temperature sensors, to monitor their values in real-time. For example, configure node <code>ns=3;s=Temperature</code> to gather temperature data directly.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Group Configuration</strong>: Simplify monitoring multiple nodes by grouping them under a single configuration—this sets defaults for all nodes in that group, thereby reducing redundancy in setup.</p> </li> </ol>
OpenTSDB
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Real-time Infrastructure Monitoring</strong>: Utilize the OpenTSDB plugin to collect and store metrics from various infrastructure components. By configuring the plugin to push metrics to OpenTSDB, organizations can have a centralized view of their infrastructure health and performance over time.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Custom Application Metrics Tracking</strong>: Integrate the OpenTSDB plugin into custom applications to track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as response times, error rates, and user interactions. This setup allows developers and product teams to visualize application performance trends and make data-driven decisions.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Automated Anomaly Detection</strong>: Leverage the plugin in conjunction with machine learning algorithms to automatically detect anomalies in time-series data sent to OpenTSDB. By continuously monitoring the incoming metrics, the system can train models that alert users to potential issues before they affect application performance.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Historical Data Analysis</strong>: Use the OpenTSDB plugin to store and analyze historical performance data for capacity planning and trend analysis. This provides valuable insights into system behavior over time, helping teams to understand usage patterns and prepare for future growth.</p> </li> </ol>
