StatsD and IoTDB Integration

Input and output integration overview

<p>The StatsD input plugin captures metrics from a StatsD server by running a listener service in the background, allowing for comprehensive performance monitoring and metric aggregation.</p>

<p>This plugin saves Telegraf metrics to an Apache IoTDB backend, supporting session connection and data insertion.</p>

Integration details

StatsD

<p>The StatsD input plugin is designed to gather metrics from a StatsD server by running a backgrounded StatsD listener service while Telegraf is active. This plugin leverages the format of the StatsD messages as established by the original Etsy implementation, which allows for various types of metrics including gauges, counters, sets, timings, histograms, and distributions. The capabilities of the StatsD plugin extend to parsing tags and extending the standard protocol with features that accommodate InfluxDB’s tagging system. It can handle messages sent via different protocols (UDP or TCP), manage multiple metric metrics effectively, and offers advanced configurations for optimal metric handling such as percentiles calculation and data transformation templates. This flexibility empowers users to track application performance comprehensively, making it an essential tool for robust monitoring setups.</p>

IoTDB

<p>Apache IoTDB (Database for Internet of Things) is an IoT native database with high performance for data management and analysis, deployable on the edge and the cloud. Its light-weight architecture, high performance, and rich feature set create a perfect fit for massive data storage, high-speed data ingestion, and complex analytics in the IoT industrial fields. IoTDB deeply integrates with Apache Hadoop, Spark, and Flink, which further enhances its capabilities in handling large scale data and sophisticated processing tasks.</p>
