paksu / pytelegraf Goto Github PK

As per https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb.com/issues/135, the InfluxDB line protocol character encoding is UTF8. I'm wondering why pytelegraf tries to do an ASCII encoding? Also, shouldn't it test whether data needs to be encoded at all? It I'm noot overlooking something, I'm willing to write a patch and tests for it.

When used in docker - just the line:
telegraf.metric("test", 1.2)
takes around 10s.

I use separate docker for telegraf (telegraf:1.22) and python script (FROM python:3.8-slim-buster), do you happend to know what could be the cause of this?

I'm using pytelegraf library but I want to send JSON format to telegraf agent. Is possible to support it? I think the command could be this:

client.metric("IMU_Acel",{"x": imu.get_x, "y": imu.get_y(), "z": imu.get_z()},
tags={'server_name': 'my-server'},
"timestamp"= 1458229140))

Hello developers,

Just wondering can we hv a return value (boolean) in the send() method? Therefore we can at least realise the Telegraf is offline and we can log it our way. Thanks

Is there a possibility to define Influx database to write measurements to using the TelegrafClient API? Equivalent of "USE dbname"?

On UDP listener page, it announced that UDP listener is deprecated.

You could replace with socket_listener and update configuration sample...
Thank you so much...

PS> I am trying this great module for my custom metrics. :)

Add an option/client implementation to write the line protocol to a file instead of socket or http request. Useful for debugging, when telegraf agent is down/inaccessible, or just to capture output.

The line protocol doesn't purge None or empty string values from tags. This causes Telegraf to fail parsing the message.

For example, for the following code:

from telegraf.client import TelegrafClient

client = TelegrafClient('localhost', 8094)
tags = {'foo': ''}
client.metric('metric', 1, tags=tags)

Running Telegraf version 1.8.0, the following error message is displayed:

2018-10-02T19:33:37Z E! Error in plugin [inputs.socket_listener]: unable to parse incoming packet: metric parse error: expected tag at offset 11: "metric,foo= value=1i\n"

Deprecation warnings are raised due to invalid escape sequences. This can be fixed by using raw strings or escaping the literals. pyupgrade also helps in automatic conversion : https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade/
