Riemann Listener Input Plugin

This service plugin listens for messages from Riemann clients using the protocol buffer format.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.17.0 Tags: datastore OS support: all

Service Input

This plugin is a service input. Normal plugins gather metrics determined by the interval setting. Service plugins start a service to listen and wait for metrics or events to occur. Service plugins have two key differences from normal plugins:

1. The global or plugin specific interval setting may not apply
2. The CLI options of --test, --test-wait, and --once may not produce output for this plugin

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 for more details.

Configuration

# Riemann protobuff listener
[[inputs.riemann_listener]]
  ## URL to listen on
  ## Default is "tcp://:5555"
  #  service_address = "tcp://:8094"
  #  service_address = "tcp://127.0.0.1:http"
  #  service_address = "tcp4://:8094"
  #  service_address = "tcp6://:8094"
  #  service_address = "tcp6://[2001:db8::1]:8094"

  ## Maximum number of concurrent connections.
  ## 0 (default) is unlimited.
  #  max_connections = 1024
  ## Read timeout.
  ## 0 (default) is unlimited.
  #  read_timeout = "30s"
  ## Optional TLS configuration.
  #  tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  #  tls_key  = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Enables client authentication if set.
  #  tls_allowed_cacerts = ["/etc/telegraf/clientca.pem"]
  ## Maximum socket buffer size (in bytes when no unit specified).
  #  read_buffer_size = "64KiB"
  ## Period between keep alive probes.
  ## 0 disables keep alive probes.
  ## Defaults to the OS configuration.
  #  keep_alive_period = "5m"

Just like Riemann the default port is 5555. This can be configured, refer configuration above.

Riemann Service is mapped as measurement. metric and TTL are converted into field values. As Riemann tags as simply an array, they are converted into the influx_line format key-value, where both key and value are the tags.
