The library provide :

• a lighter client than influxdb-java to push only series to an InfluxDB server.
• A reporter for metrics which announces measurements.

The library provide a lighter client than influxdb-java to push only metrics.

Dependencies :

• slf4j-api for logging.
• metrics-core, to provide, if you use InfluxdbReporter.

Install:

 repositories {
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
 }
 dependencies {
	        compile 'com.github.davidb:metrics-influxdb:-SNAPSHOT'
 }

Usage :

Using the Builder API and its defaults, it is easy to use InfluxdbReporter:

ScheduledReporter reporter = InfluxdbReporter.forRegistry(registry).build();
reporter.start(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

With the previous simple configuration, all defaults will be used, mainly:

• protocol: HTTP
• server: 127.0.0.1
• port: 8086
• authentication: none
• database name: metrics
• rates: converted to TimeUnit.SECONDS
• duration: converted to TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS
• idle metrics: do not report
• influxdb protocol: v09 line protocol
• ...

But you are free of course to define all settings by yourself :

final ScheduledReporter reporter = InfluxdbReporter.forRegistry(registry)
    .protocol(InfluxdbProtocols.http("influxdb-server", 8086, "admin", "53CR3TP455W0RD", "metrics"))
    .convertRatesTo(TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .convertDurationsTo(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
    .filter(MetricFilter.ALL)
    .skipIdleMetrics(false)
    .tag("cluster", "CL01")
    .tag("client", "OurImportantClient")
    .tag("server", serverIP)
    .transformer(new CategoriesMetricMeasurementTransformer("module", "artifact"))
    .build();
reporter.start(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

And if you are still using v08 influxdb you can use the deprecated old syntax as before

final InfluxdbHttp influxdb = new InfluxdbHttp("127.0.0.1", 8086, "dev", "u0", "u0PWD");
final InfluxdbReporter reporter = InfluxdbReporter
    .forRegistry(registry)
    .build(influxdb);
...

or the new one

final InfluxdbHttp influxdb = new InfluxdbHttp("127.0.0.1", 8086, "dev", "u0", "u0PWD");
final InfluxdbReporter reporter = InfluxdbReporter
    .forRegistry(registry)
    .v08(influxdb)
    .build();
...
