Hello

i have been reading

but some point i do not understand!
if crating the new file for the [[inputs.snmp]] in
/etc/telegraf/telegraf.d#

is there a way to tell in which DB to save this data collected!
It is possible to trigger 3 or more Switch (identical Switch, except name)

have a nice day

InfluxDB does not have the same concept of “multiple databases” as most RDBMSs
such as MariaDB, MSSQL or Postgres do. InfluxDB only has a single database.

Maybe you could explain a little more about what you want to do with the data
from the three switches and how it should be used, and someone can try to
advise.

i have one influxDB1.8 but there are multiple databases!
the basic Telegraf.conf should just send the healty metric of his own.
inf telegrf.d/ should be the snmp requests - but this data should be in another DB then the main telegraf.conf declared.

Do you really mean multiple databases (in which case I am disappointingly
unaware that this was possible), or do you mean multiple tables in one
database (which is certainly possible with InfluxDB, as well as all RDBMSs)?

I don’t understand how this would be configured - can you give an example?

hmmm
on the VM i do a
#influx
then

but maybe i use the wrong terminologie

I apologise - you are quite correct, and InfluxDB can indeed maintain multiple
databases.

I think I’d better hand over to someone else who knew this already to help
answer your question :slight_smile:
