Converting collecd binary stream to JSON with Telegraf or collecd forwarding?

9

Sorry for all the noise, but I finally figured out how to use the tagpass/tagdrop to route the telegraf inputs to two separate InfluxDBs on the same server.

[[outputs.influxdb]]
  urls = ["http://tick-alln-001:8086"] # required
  ## The target database for metrics (telegraf will create it if not exists).
  database = "telegraf" # required
  [outputs.influxdb.tagdrop] 
    source = ["prodvcs"]

# Define a database for vcs collectd metrics
[[outputs.influxdb]]
  urls = ["http://tick-alln-001:8086"]
  database = "vcs"
  # Only accept the vcs collecd metrics in this database
  [outputs.influxdb.tagpass] 
    source = ["prodvcs"]

[[inputs.socket_listener]]
#  Receive collectd stats from VCS devices
service_address = "udp://0.0.0.0:25826"
data_format = "collectd"
#  ## Path of to TypesDB specifications
collectd_typesdb = ["/usr/share/collectd/types.db"]
  [inputs.socket_listener.tags]
    source = "prodvcs"
