Hi
i try to use influxdb2 + Telegraf to collect metics from vSphere.
I use the following Telegraf config
# Configuration for telegraf agent
[agent]
## Default data collection interval for all inputs
interval = "10s"
## Rounds collection interval to 'interval'
## ie, if interval="10s" then always collect on :00, :10, :20, etc.
round_interval = true
## Telegraf will send metrics to outputs in batches of at most
## metric_batch_size metrics.
## This controls the size of writes that Telegraf sends to output plugins.
metric_batch_size = 1000
## Maximum number of unwritten metrics per output. Increasing this value
## allows for longer periods of output downtime without dropping metrics at the
## cost of higher maximum memory usage.
metric_buffer_limit = 10000
## Collection jitter is used to jitter the collection by a random amount.
## Each plugin will sleep for a random time within jitter before collecting.
## This can be used to avoid many plugins querying things like sysfs at the
## same time, which can have a measurable effect on the system.
collection_jitter = "0s"
## Default flushing interval for all outputs. Maximum flush_interval will be
## flush_interval + flush_jitter
flush_interval = "10s"
## Jitter the flush interval by a random amount. This is primarily to avoid
## large write spikes for users running a large number of telegraf instances.
## ie, a jitter of 5s and interval 10s means flushes will happen every 10-15s
flush_jitter = "0s"
## By default or when set to "0s", precision will be set to the same
## timestamp order as the collection interval, with the maximum being 1s.
## ie, when interval = "10s", precision will be "1s"
## when interval = "250ms", precision will be "1ms"
## Precision will NOT be used for service inputs. It is up to each individual
## service input to set the timestamp at the appropriate precision.
## Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s".
precision = ""
## Log at debug level.
debug = true
## Log only error level messages.
# quiet = false
## Log target controls the destination for logs and can be one of "file",
## "stderr" or, on Windows, "eventlog". When set to "file", the output file
## is determined by the "logfile" setting.
# logtarget = "file"
## Name of the file to be logged to when using the "file" logtarget. If set to
## the empty string then logs are written to stderr.
# logfile = ""
## The logfile will be rotated after the time interval specified. When set
## to 0 no time based rotation is performed. Logs are rotated only when
## written to, if there is no log activity rotation may be delayed.
# logfile_rotation_interval = "0d"
## The logfile will be rotated when it becomes larger than the specified
## size. When set to 0 no size based rotation is performed.
# logfile_rotation_max_size = "0MB"
## Maximum number of rotated archives to keep, any older logs are deleted.
## If set to -1, no archives are removed.
# logfile_rotation_max_archives = 5
## Pick a timezone to use when logging or type 'local' for local time.
## Example: America/Chicago
# log_with_timezone = ""
## Override default hostname, if empty use os.Hostname()
hostname = ""
## If set to true, do no set the "host" tag in the telegraf agent.
omit_hostname = false
[[outputs.influxdb_v2]]
## The URLs of the InfluxDB cluster nodes.
##
## Multiple URLs can be specified for a single cluster, only ONE of the
## urls will be written to each interval.
## ex: urls = ["https://us-west-2-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com"]
urls = ["http://ip:8086"]
## Token for authentication.
token = "$INFLUX_TOKEN"
## Organization is the name of the organization you wish to write to; must exist.
organization = "org"
## Destination bucket to write into.
bucket = "bucket"
## The value of this tag will be used to determine the bucket. If this
## tag is not set the 'bucket' option is used as the default.
# bucket_tag = ""
## If true, the bucket tag will not be added to the metric.
# exclude_bucket_tag = false
## Timeout for HTTP messages.
# timeout = "5s"
## Additional HTTP headers
# http_headers = {"X-Special-Header" = "Special-Value"}
## HTTP Proxy override, if unset values the standard proxy environment
## variables are consulted to determine which proxy, if any, should be used.
# http_proxy = "http://corporate.proxy:3128"
## HTTP User-Agent
# user_agent = "telegraf"
## Content-Encoding for write request body, can be set to "gzip" to
## compress body or "identity" to apply no encoding.
# content_encoding = "gzip"
## Enable or disable uint support for writing uints influxdb 2.0.
# influx_uint_support = false
## Optional TLS Config for use on HTTP connections.
# tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
# tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
# tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
insecure_skip_verify = false
## Realtime instance
[[inputs.vsphere]]
## List of vCenter URLs to be monitored. These three lines must be uncommented
## and edited for the plugin to work.
interval = "60s"
vcenters = [ "https://vcenter.test/sdk" ]
username = "test@vmware.local"
password = "secret"
vm_metric_include = []
host_metric_include = []
cluster_metric_include = []
datastore_metric_exclude = ["*"]
max_query_metrics = 256
timeout = "60s"
insecure_skip_verify = true
## Historical instance
[[inputs.vsphere]]
interval = "300s"
vcenters = [ "https://vcenter.test/sdk" ]
username = "test@vmware.local"
password = "secret"
datastore_metric_include = [ "disk.capacity.latest", "disk.used.latest", "disk.provisioned.latest" ]
insecure_skip_verify = true
force_discover_on_init = true
host_metric_exclude = ["*"] # Exclude realtime metrics
vm_metric_exclude = ["*"] # Exclude realtime metrics
max_query_metrics = 256
collect_concurrency = 3
But i get back that there is 0 metrics to collect:

Is there anything i miss in the config file, for not collecting anything?
