Bond

Metrics

Configure Telegraf to ship Bond metrics to your Logit.io stacks via Logstash.

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:

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'

# 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 the Telegraf input plugin

The configuration file below is pre-configured to scrape the system metrics from your hosts, add the following code to the configuration file /etc/telegraf/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

Configure The Output plugin

Once you have generated the configuration file, you need to set up the output plug-in to allow Telegraf to transmit your data to Logit.io in Prometheus format. This can be accomplished by incorporating the following code into your configuration file:

[[inputs.tail]]
  name_override = "nginxlog"
  files = ["<Nginx installation directory>/logs/access.log"]
  from_beginning = true
  pipe = false
  data_format = "grok"
  grok_patterns = ["%{COMBINED_LOG_FORMAT}"]
 
[[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

.\telegraf.exe --config telegraf.conf
