# Riak Input Plugin

This plugin gathers metrics from [Riak](https://riak.com/) instances.

**Introduced in:** Telegraf v0.10.4 **Tags:** server **OS support:** all

## Global configuration options

Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring plugin ordering. See [CONFIGURATION.md](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#plugins) for more details.

## Configuration

```toml
# Read metrics one or many Riak servers
[[inputs.riak]]
  # Specify a list of one or more riak http servers
  servers = ["http://localhost:8098"]
```

## Metrics

-   riak:
    -   tags:
        -   server (host:port of the given server address)
        -   nodename (internal node name received)
    -   fields

        -   node\_get\_fsm\_objsize\_mean
        -   node\_get\_fsm\_objsize\_median
        -   node\_get\_fsm\_siblings\_100
        -   node\_get\_fsm\_siblings\_95
