installation of influxdb relay and dockerizing it

[sagarmah]

Hello, Thanks for the update of the readme.md. I am still having issues, When I run

$ go get -u github.com/influxdata/influxdb-relay
Error:
package github.com/influxdata/influxdb-relay: directory "/usr/local/go/src/github.com/influxdata/influxdb-relay" is not using a known version control system

So I removed the directory influxdb-relay and tried again and got,

package github.com/influxdata/influxdb-relay: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For more details see: go help gopath

I have the right gopath as we can see in the ~/.profile

if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi
fi

if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

still gives gopath not set error. Can you please help me out, also is there a reliable ready image on dockerhub for the influxdb-relay? Thanks and regards

@sagarmah GOPATH needs to be it's own variable, it does not mean add the go/bin directory to your PATH. If you are unfamiliar with how to build Go applications, I would recommend using the instructions in the readme here, which leverage Docker for managing the Go dependencies.

@rossmcdonald Hello

I'm using influxdb_relay to make of writing HA. The conf my relay is very simple:

[[Http]] name = "example-http" bind-addr = "0.0.0.0:9096" output = [      {Name = "local1" location = "http://172.17.0.2:8086"}, ]

so when I try to send the recording to the relay address on port 9096 I get the following error:

"Invalid write endpoint"

Can anybody help me?

tks

[rossmcdonald]

@cristhianbicca Please re-review the sample configuration here and modify your configuration's capitalization (Http needs to be http, Name needs to be name) and punctuation ("local1" location needs to be "local1", location).

[cristhianbicca]

sorry @rossmcdonald ,

It is that way anyway and the error

[[http]] name = "example-http" bind-addr = "0.0.0.0:9096" output = [ {name="local1", location="http://172.17.0.2:8086"}, ]

[rossmcdonald]

@cristhianbicca Try removing the , at the end of {name="local1", location="http://172.17.0.2:8086"},. The configuration needs to match the TOML spec.

@rossmcdonald

Still the question of {"Error": "invalid write endpoint"}

That at what I'm looking at is appearing 404. The relay error not to startar, up normally.

root @ f44e2103fc44: / go # $ GOPATH / bin / influxdb-relay -config relay.toml 06.24.2016 17:55:26 starting relays ... 24.06.2016 17:55:26 Starting relay HTTP "example-http" on 0.0.0.0:9096

@cristhianbicca Did you ever get around the 404 error for the HTTP relay? I'm having the same issue.

[stevenviola]

Not sure if you've figure out the problem, but I wasn't appending /write to the location fields, and was also getting 404 errors. In the snippet @cristhianbicca posted, it should look like this:

[[http]]
name = "example-http"
bind-addr = "0.0.0.0:9096"
output = [
  {name="local1", location="http://172.17.0.2:8086/write"},
]
