Configuration

# Arc Time-Series Database Output Plugin
[[outputs.arc]]
  ## Arc MessagePack API URL
  url = "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/write/msgpack"

  ## API Key for authentication (required, auth is enabled by default)
  api_key = ""

  ## Database name for multi-database architecture
  ## Defaults to the server configured DB if not specified or empty
  # database = ""

  ## Content encoding for request body
  ## Options: "gzip" (default), "identity"
  # content_encoding = "gzip"

Troubleshooting

For authentication issues, ensure you have generated a valid API key with write permissions. See the Arc documentation for details on authentication and configuration.

For connection or performance issues, check that Arc is running and accessible, and review the Telegraf debug logs.
