cratedb

CrateDB Output Plugin for Telegraf

This plugin writes to CrateDB via its PostgreSQL protocol.

Table Schema

The plugin requires a table with the following schema.

CREATE TABLE my_metrics (
  "hash_id" LONG INDEX OFF,
  "timestamp" TIMESTAMP,
  "name" STRING,
  "tags" OBJECT(DYNAMIC),
  "fields" OBJECT(DYNAMIC),
  PRIMARY KEY ("timestamp", "hash_id","day")
) PARTITIONED BY("day");

The plugin can create this table for you automatically via the table_create config option, see below.
