telegraf-synthetic-aws-ec2.conf

# Telegraf Configuration
#
# Telegraf is entirely plugin driven. All metrics are gathered from the
# declared inputs, and sent to the declared outputs.
#
# Plugins must be declared in here to be active.
# To deactivate a plugin, comment out the name and any variables.
#
# Use 'telegraf -config telegraf.conf -test' to see what metrics a config
# file would generate.
#
# Environment variables can be used anywhere in this config file, simply prepend
# them with $. For strings the variable must be within quotes (ie, "$STR_VAR"),
# for numbers and booleans they should be plain (ie, $INT_VAR, $BOOL_VAR)

# Global tags can be specified here in key="value" format.
[global_tags]
company = "Amazon"      # tag all metrics with company=Amazon
service = "AWS"         # tag all metrics with service=AWS
subservice = "EC2"      # tag all metrics with subservice=EC2
## Environment variables can be used as tags, and throughout the config file
# user = "$USER"

# Configuration for telegraf agent
[agent]
## Default data collection interval for all inputs
interval = "30s"
# Changed to 30 seconds to give more time to collect HTTP responses.
# Budget on collecting one http response every one second. 

## Rounds collection interval to 'interval'
## ie, if interval="10s" then always collect on :00, :10, :20, etc.
round_interval = true

## Telegraf will send metrics to outputs in batches of at most
## metric_batch_size metrics.
## This controls the size of writes that Telegraf sends to output plugins.
metric_batch_size = 1000
# Changed this to handle more URLs.

## For failed writes, telegraf will cache metric_buffer_limit metrics for each
## output, and will flush this buffer on a successful write. Oldest metrics
## are dropped first when this buffer fills.
## This buffer only fills when writes fail to output plugin(s).
metric_buffer_limit = 10000
# Changd this to handle more URLs.

## Collection jitter is used to jitter the collection by a random amount.
## Each plugin will sleep for a random time within jitter before collecting.
## This can be used to avoid many plugins querying things like sysfs at the
## same time, which can have a measurable effect on the system.
collection_jitter = "0s"

## Default flushing interval for all outputs. Maximum flush_interval will be
## flush_interval + flush_jitter
flush_interval = "30s"
# Changed to 30 seconds to give more time to collect HTTP responses
# Budget on collecting one http response every one second. 

## Jitter the flush interval by a random amount. This is primarily to avoid
## large write spikes for users running a large number of telegraf instances.
## ie, a jitter of 5s and interval 10s means flushes will happen every 10-15s
flush_jitter = "0s"

## By default or when set to "0s", precision will be set to the same
## timestamp order as the collection interval, with the maximum being 1s.
##   ie, when interval = "10s", precision will be "1s"
##       when interval = "250ms", precision will be "1ms"
## Precision will NOT be used for service inputs. It is up to each individual
## service input to set the timestamp at the appropriate precision.
## Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s".
precision = ""

## Logging configuration:
## Run telegraf with debug log messages.
debug = false
## Run telegraf in quiet mode (error log messages only).
quiet = false
## Specify the log file name. The empty string means to log to stderr.
logfile = ""

## Override default hostname, if empty use os.Hostname()
hostname = ""
## If set to true, do no set the "host" tag in the telegraf agent.
omit_hostname = true
# Changed to true since we don't care about the hostname (localhost) and we want to make our payloads smaller.
