Telegraf

Minimal gem to send metrics to a local telegraf agent.

Installation

gem 'telegraf'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install telegraf

Usage

Configure telegraf socket listener e.g.:

[[inputs.socket_listener]]
  service_address = "unix:/run/telegraf/telegraf.sock"
  # service_address = "tcp://localhost:8094"

telegraf = Telegraf::Agent.new 'unix:/run/telegraf/telegraf.sock'
# telegraf = Telegraf::Agent.new 'tcp://localhost:8094'

telegraf.write('demo',
    tags: {tag_a: 'A', tag_b: 'B'},
    values: {value_a: 1, value_b: 1.5})

telegraf.write([{
    series: 'demo',
    tags: {tag_a: 'A', tag_b: 'B'},
    values: {value_a: 1, value_b: 1.5}
}])

There is not buffer or batch handling, nor connection pooling or keep alive. Each #write creates a new connection (unless it's a datagram connection).

There is no exception handling.
