Hello Everyone
I am actually a beginner with Influx and Telegraf. I am running InfluxDB on a Proxmox Cluster in LXC. Telegraf is running on the cluster nodes. For this specific failure I didn’t find any useful help yet. May be someone here have had a similar issue and a solution for it.
Proxmox Version and Metrics Server Config
pve-cluster: 7.1-3
/etc/pve/status.cfg
influxdb: shift-rmm
server 127.0.0.1
port 8089
InfluxDB Version
InfluxDB 2.1.1
Telegraf Version and Config on the Node to collect Proxmox metrics
Telegraf 1.21.2
# Telegraf Configuration
[global_tags]
# Configuration for telegraf agent
[agent]
interval = "10s"
round_interval = true
metric_batch_size = 1000
metric_buffer_limit = 10000
collection_jitter = "0s"
flush_interval = "10s"
flush_jitter = "0s"
precision = ""
hostname = ""
omit_hostname = false
[[outputs.influxdb_v2]]
urls = ["http://192.xx.yy.zz:8086"]
token = "$INFLUX_TOKEN"
organization = "my_org"
bucket = "my_bucket"
# Gather metrics from proxmox based on what is in /etc/pve/setup.cfg
[[inputs.socket_listener]]
service_address = "udp://:8089"
I have started (again) with a brand new and empty bucket to collect the Proxmox metrics but unfortunately the first start of Telegraf brought up the following failures.
