This integration is for ingesting task, storage, golang, performance related metrics from InfluxDB OSS 2.x databases. This integration provides out-of-the-box dashboards named Status Metrics, Advanced Status Metrics.

Requirements

This integration depends on prometheus endpoint (default: http://<InfluxDBhost>:<port>/metrics) of InfluxDB for collecting status and advanced status metrics.

Compatibility

This integration has been tested against InfluxDB OSS 2.4, InfluxDB OSS 2.0

Metrics

Status Metrics

Status metrics include details of memory usage, OS thread usage, query statistics, organization & users statistics, tasks & task workers, WAL size etc.
