zpool_influxdb - collect zpool statistics in influxdb line protocol format
zpool_influxdb [--execd] [--no-histogram] [--sum-histogram-buckets]
[--tags key=value] [pool]
zpool_influxdb --help
The
zpool_influxdb command produces influxdb line protocol compatible
metrics from zpools. Like the
zpool command,
zpool_influxdb
reads the current pool status and statistics. Unlike the
zpool command
which is intended for humans,
zpool_influxdb formats the output in
influxdb line protocol. The expected use is as a plugin to a metrics collector
or aggregator, such as telegraf.
By default,
zpool_influxdb prints pool metrics and status in the influxdb
line protocol format. All pools are printed, similar to the
zpool
status command. Providing a pool name restricts the output to the named
pool.
Like the
zpool command,
zpool_influxdb uses internal data
structures that can change over time as new ZFS releases are made. Therefore,
the
zpool_influxdb command must be compiled against the ZFS source. It
is expected that later releases of ZFS includes compatible
zpool_influxdb and
zpool commands.
- --execd, -e
- Run in daemon mode compatible with telegraf`s execd plugin. In this
mode, the pools are sampled every time there is a [return] on stdin. Once
a sample printed, zpool_influxdb waits for another [return]. When
run on a terminal, use [ctrl+C] to exit.
- --no-histogram, -n
- Do not print latency and I/O size histograms. This can reduce the total
amount of data, but one should consider the value brought by the insights
that latency and I/O size distributions provide. The resulting values are
suitable for graphing with grafana's heatmap plugin.
- --sum-histogram-buckets, -s
- Accumulates bucket values. By default, the values are not accumulated and
the raw data appears as shown by zpool iostat. This works well for
grafana's heatmap plugin. Summing the buckets produces output similar to
prometheus histograms.
- --tags, -t
- Adds specified tags to the tag set. Tags are key=value pairs and multiple
tags are separated by commas. No sanity checking is performed. See the
InfluxDB Line Protocol format documentation for details on escaping
special characters used in tags.
- --help, -h
- Print a usage summary.
