Hello,
I would path differents “[input.X] block” file inside telegraf.conf ? is it possible ?
exemple
Inside telegraf.conf:
[…]
include /etc/telegraf/file_name_input
[…]
file name_input:
–beginning of file –
[[inputs.snmp]]
agents = [ “host.example.com” ]
version = 2
community = “public”
[[inputs.snmp.field]]
name = “hostname”
oid = “RFC1213-MIB::sysName.0”
is_tag = true
[[inputs.snmp.field]]
name = “uptime”
oid = “DISMAN-EXPRESSION-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance”
IF-MIB::ifTable contains counters on input and output traffic as well as errors and discards.
[[inputs.snmp.table]]
name = “interface”
inherit_tags = [ “hostname” ]
oid = “IF-MIB::ifTable”
[…]
–end of file –
Thanks for your help
Good day,
You don’t need to include
another file, just add multiple valid input blocks to your main telegraf.conf
.
Example telegraf.conf
:
[[inputs.mysql]]
servers = ["root:telegraf@tcp(mysql:3306)/"]
[[inputs.mysql]]
servers = ["root:telegraf@tcp(maria:3306)/"]
gather_user_statistics = false
[[inputs.mysql]]
servers = ["root:telegraf@tcp(percona:3306)/"]
[[outputs.file]]
files = ["stdout"]
Sorry, maybe I wasn’t being clear in my demand
I would be able to manege my configuration file (telegraf.conf) thanks to different files.
a file for each " valid input blocks ". Like this I will be able to change my configuration without modifying directly in telegraf.conf
is Telegraf able to go read in an other file a part of its configuration?
Example telegraf.conf:
#To have this go read file /etc/telegraf/mysql_file instead to read and write it directly in telegraf.conf
[[inputs.mysql]]
servers = [“root:telegraf@tcp(mysql:3306)/”]
[[inputs.mysql]]
servers = [“root:telegraf@tcp(maria:3306)/”]
gather_user_statistics = false
[[inputs.mysql]]
servers = [“root:telegraf@tcp(percona:3306)/”]
#To have this go read file /etc/telegraf/outfile_file
[[outputs.file]]
files = [“stdout”]
–inside telegraf.conf –
It will be more easy to change my configuration file and avoid corruption of it
Yes, you can have Telegraf read from a directory and import all the .conf
files there. From the documentation on configuration file locations:
The location of the configuration file can be set via the --config
command line flag.
When the --config-directory
command line flag is used files ending with .conf in the specified directory will also be included in the Telegraf configuration.
On most systems, the default locations are /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
for the main configuration file and /etc/telegraf/telegraf.d
for the directory of configuration files.
