How to collect stats for all running processes on a host using telegraf.
can we really use “*” in procstat
like
[[inputs.procstat]]
exe = ""
prefix = “”
Any help appreciated.
We wish to use telegraf to monitor all processes on the influx host.
You can use pattern = ".*", but you will also need pid_tag = true in order to make the series unique.
This works but there is a big problem, this will quickly create many series so you will need a plan to deal with the series cardinality. I recently wrote some ways you can do this in the passenger plugin docs under series cardinality warning, and much of that would apply here.
