Tick Script n Procstat Help required

InfluxDB 1 Kapacitor
1

Am using HTTPOUT node to get output of Tick Jobs. System matrix are worked fine with deadman functionality to check if Telegraf is running.

For Process status on Linux, I need to get below Output on HTTPOUT node.

CustomTag1, CustomTag2, CustomTag3,Host, Process Name, Pattern, Process Status

What I tried

  1. I have written stream script to get process details from procstat, and inserted in new measurement new_procstat with additional tag Process_Status
  2. wanted to use Deadman on same stream, to insert status for missing process as DOWN and insert details in new_procstat table with status as down
  3. another Tick script to read new_procstat and get desired output.

Issue

  1. Above mentioned first step worked fine, except Process_Status is getting inserted as Tag, instead of Field.
  2. Deadman is not inserting all the Tags/Fields coming from procstat. How can I insert new field “Process_Status” with Deadman not as Tag?

Help On

  1. This is two step approach, but still fine if someone can help guiding me how to manage custom Tags/Fields with InfluxDBOut as part of DeadMan

  2. Or, suggest me some other way to achieving desired output from procstat
