Write metrics to different influxdb databases

[adrianlzt]

I have discovered this project while making a PR to mod_gearman.

I'm trying also to send icinga perfdata to InfluxDB, but I need to send each perfdata to a different database based on a custom template defined in each host.

Any idea if it will be possible to handle this with nagflux?

Thanks!

Hi, at the moment it not possible to do that, if mod_gearman is not able to do so. You could only collect the data from multiple mod_gearman servers but send them just to one InfluxDB. But we were already talking about something like that and I'll add such feature when I'm back to work, in a some weeks. I was thinking about something like, multiple named serverconfigs within the nagflux config and if such a name is passed by a perfdata the data will be send to the corresponding InfluxDB. If the field is empty the default InfluxDB will be chosen. Greetings Philip

And choosing the influxdb databse with a custom variable? @sni is thinking in expanding mod_gearman to be able to add custom variables: https://github.com/sni/mod_gearman/pull/108#issuecomment-277254165

Exactly, e.g. you're setting a customvariable like NAGFLUX::TARGET to server1, then nagflux would send the data to the server1, which config/address is stored in a the nagflux config

It would be possible if Mod-Gearman had a customizable performance data template so you could just define the data like ex.: ...NAGFLUX:DB=$_HOSTINFLUXDB$ or something like that.

That would be perfect

Any update on this? Thanks

I'll be back at the office in one week and tackle the problem then. It's not forgotten.

The latest release should solve this issue.
