What
Write to InfluxDB using its UDP interface.
When to use this
- When you need to write frequently and quickly
- When the speed of writes is more important than their reliability
- When you would use statsd, but you need to store more than simple numeric data
When not to use this
- If you need to read from InfluxDB
- When you need to be absolutely certain every write has succeeded
- If you want any confirmation from InfluxDB whatsoever
Where to get this
npm install --save influx-udp
How to use this
Configure InfluxDB for UDP: http://influxdb.com/docs/v0.7/api/reading_and_writing_data.html#writing-data-through-json-+-udp
var InfluxUdp = require('influx-udp');
var influxClient = new InfluxUdp({
port: 4444,
host: '127.0.0.1'
});
var data = {
visitors: [
{
ip: '127.0.0.1',
username: 'harrison'
},
{
ip: '192.168.0.1',
username: 'shawn'
}
]
}
influxClient.send(data);
/* Sends this, which will put two points into the "visitors" time series:
[
{
"name": "visitors",
"columns": ["ip", "username"],
"points": [
["127.0.0.1", "harrison"],
["192.168.0.1", "shawn"]
]
}
]
