Bond
Ship your Bond Metrics via Telegraf to your Logit.io Stack
Follow the steps below to send your observability data to Logit.io
Metrics
Configure Telegraf to ship Bond metrics to your Logit.io stacks.
Install Integration
Install Telegraf
This integration allows you to configure a Telegraf agent to send your metrics to Logit.io.
Choose the installation method for your operating system:
When you paste the command below into Powershell it will download the Telegraf zip file.
Once that is complete, press Enter again and the zip file will be extracted into C:\Program Files\InfluxData\telegraf\telegraf-1.34.1
.
wget https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.34.1_windows_amd64.zip -UseBasicParsing -OutFile telegraf-1.34.1_windows_amd64.zip
Expand-Archive .\telegraf-1.34.1_windows_amd64.zip -DestinationPath 'C:\Program Files\InfluxData\telegraf'
or in Powershell 7 use:
# Download the Telegraf ZIP file
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.34.1_windows_amd64.zip" `
-OutFile "telegraf-1.34.1_windows_amd64.zip" `
-UseBasicParsing
# Extract the contents of the ZIP file
Expand-Archive -Path ".\telegraf-1.34.1_windows_amd64.zip" `
-DestinationPath "C:\Program Files\InfluxData\telegraf"
Configure Telegraf
The configuration file below is pre-configured to scrape the system metrics from your hosts, add the following code to the configuration file telegraf.conf
from the previous step.
### Collect bond interface status, slaves statuses and failures count
[[inputs.bond]]
## Sets 'proc' directory path
## If not specified, then default is /proc
host_proc = "/proc"
## Sets 'sys' directory path
## If not specified, then default is /sys
# host_sys = "/sys"
## By default, telegraf gather stats for all bond interfaces
## Setting interfaces will restrict the stats to the specified
## bond interfaces.
bond_interfaces = ["bond0", "bond1"]
## Tries to collect additional bond details from /sys/class/net/{bond}
## currently only useful for LACP (mode 4) bonds
# collect_sys_details = false
### System metrics
[[inputs.disk]]
[[inputs.net]]
[[inputs.mem]]
[[inputs.system]]
[[inputs.cpu]]
percpu = false
totalcpu = true
collect_cpu_time = true
report_active = true
### Output
[[outputs.http]]
url = "https://@metricsUsername:@metricsPassword@@metrics_id-vm.logit.io:@vmAgentPort/api/v1/write"
data_format = "prometheusremotewrite"
[outputs.http.headers]
Content-Type = "application/x-protobuf"
Content-Encoding = "snappy"

Start Telegraf
From the location where Telegraf was installed (C:\Program Files\InfluxData\telegraf\telegraf-1.34.1
) run the program
providing the chosen configuration file as a parameter:
.\telegraf.exe --config telegraf.conf
Once Telegraf is running you should see output similar to the following, which confirms the inputs, output and basic configuration the application has been started with:
