Hi,
Im using Input.tail to follow a json file. Everything works fine but i cannot seem to get the one of the field as a float.
I can specify using the json_string_fields but then it would store the value as a string which i do not want.
Highlighted is the field that i want to store as a float type but seems like teelgraf is not importing it into influx db at all.
When specified within json_string_fields , it works but it stores as a string.
json_string_fields = [“Session”]
[[inputs.tail]]
files to tail.
These accept standard unix glob matching rules, but with the addition of
** as a “super asterisk”. ie:
“/var/log/**.log” → recursively find all .log files in /var/log
“/var/log//.log” → find all .log files with a parent dir in /var/log
“/var/log/apache.log” → just tail the apache log file
See GitHub - gobwas/glob: Go glob for more examples
files = [“D:/Logs/Apps/StatisticsGateway/Statistics.Performance.json”]
Read file from beginning.
from_beginning = false
Whether file is a named pipe
pipe = false
Method used to watch for file updates. Can be either “inotify” or “poll”.
watch_method = “poll”
Data format to consume.
Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
more about them here:
telegraf/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md at master · influxdata/telegraf · GitHub
data_format = “json”
tag_keys = [“UserName”,“MetricName”,“MetricUnit”,“logger”]
json_string_fields = [“Session”]
