New component: Sematext Exporter

[AkhigbeEromo]

The purpose and use-cases of the new component

The Sematext Metric Exporter component is designed to export telemetry data, specifically metrics, to the Sematext platform, enabling real-time monitoring, alerting, and observability. This exporter is an extension of the existing InfluxDB exporter, leveraging Sematext's capability to listen over the Influx line protocol.

The primary changes include:

• Addition of an app_token for authentication with the Sematext platform.
• Introduction of Region to specify the data storage location.

Example configuration for the component

Configuration Options

• timeout (default = 5s) Timeout for requests

• Region Specifies the Sematext region the user is operating in; must be one of:

  • US
  • EU

• app_token Specifies the token of the Sematext Monitoring App to which the user wants to send data.

• payload_max_lines (default = 1,000) Maximum number of lines allowed per HTTP POST request.

• payload_max_bytes (default = 300,000) Maximum number of bytes allowed per HTTP POST request.

• metrics_schema (default = telegraf-prometheus-v2) The chosen metrics schema to write.

• sending_queue Details here

  • enabled (default = true) Enables the sending queue.
  • num_consumers (default = 10) The number of consumers from the queue.
  • queue_size (default = 1000) Maximum number of batches allowed in the queue at a given time.

• retry_on_failure Details here

  • enabled (default = true) Enables retries on failure.
  • initial_interval (default = 5s) Time to wait after the first failure before retrying.
  • max_interval (default = 30s) Upper bound on backoff interval.
  • max_elapsed_time (default = 120s) Maximum amount of time (including retries) spent trying to send a request/batch.
