  • hello,i am using telegraf’s plugin tail to tail a log with json data to influxdb, however,i don’t now how to specify timestamp which can be catched from the log, how should i do?

data format:

{“ticker”:{“DealSrc”:1,“DecInPrice”:0,“Price”:25347,“ProdCode”:“HSIN7”,“Qty”:7,“TickerTime”:1499414828}}

Unfortunately this is not something that Telegraf supports at this time with the JSON input format. There is an issue open for this though.

Is it possible to achieve the same using line protocol?

Yes, when using line protocol with data_format = "influx" the timestamp, if specified, will be used.

Thanks. It worked and it has improved the write speed compare to json formal.
