InfluxDB

InfluxDB is an open-source time series database developed by InfluxData. It is written in Go and optimized for fast, high-availability storage and retrieval of time series data in fields such as operations monitoring, application metrics, Internet of Things sensor data, and real-time analytics.

InfluxDB by HTTP

Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of InfluxDB monitoring by Zabbix via HTTP and doesn't require any external scripts.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.4 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • InfluxDB 2.0

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

This template works with self-hosted InfluxDB instances. Internal service metrics are collected from InfluxDB /metrics endpoint. For organization discovery template need to use Authorization via API token. See docs: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/security/tokens/

Don't forget to change the macros {$INFLUXDB.URL}, {$INFLUXDB.API.TOKEN}. Also, see the Macros section for a list of macros used to set trigger values. NOTE. Some metrics may not be collected depending on your InfluxDB instance version and configuration.

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$INFLUXDB.URL}

InfluxDB instance URL

 http://localhost:8086
{$INFLUXDB.API.TOKEN}

InfluxDB API Authorization Token
{$INFLUXDB.ORG_NAME.MATCHES}

Filter of discoverable organizations

 .*
{$INFLUXDB.ORG_NAME.NOT_MATCHES}

Filter to exclude discovered organizations

 CHANGE_IF_NEEDED
{$INFLUXDB.TASK.RUN.FAIL.MAX.WARN}

Maximum number of tasks runs failures for trigger expression.

 2
{$INFLUXDB.REQ.FAIL.MAX.WARN}

Maximum number of query requests failures for trigger expression.
