This receiver can receive data exported by the CollectD's write_http
plugin. Only JSON format is supported. Authentication is not supported at
this time.
This receiver was donated by SignalFx and ported from SignalFx's Gateway
(https://github.com/signalfx/gateway/tree/master/protocol/collectd). As a
result, this receiver supports some additional features that are technically
not compatible with stock CollectD's write_http plugin. That said, in
practice such incompatibilities should never surface. For example, this
receiver supports extracting labels from different fields. Given a field
value field[a=b, k=v], this receiver will extract a and b as label keys
and, k and v as the respective label values.
The configuration includes the Opentelemetry collector's server confighttp, which allows for a variety of settings. Only the most relevant ones will be discussed here, but all are available.
The following settings are required:
endpoint(default =localhost:8081): Endpoint exposed by this receiver to send data.
The following settings are optional:
attributes_prefix(no default): Used to add query parameters in key=value format to all metrics.timeout(default =30s): The request timeout for any docker daemon query.
Example:
receivers:
collectd:
collectd/one:
attributes_prefix: "dap_"
endpoint: "localhost:12345"
timeout: "50s"The full list of settings exposed for this receiver are documented here with detailed sample configurations here.
