This plugin writes metrics to an external daemon program via stdin. The
command will be executed once and metrics will be passed to it on every write
in one of the supported data formats.
The executable and the individual parameters must be defined as a list.
All outputs of the executable to stderr will be logged in the Telegraf log.
Telegraf minimum version: Telegraf 1.15.0
⭐ Telegraf v1.15.0 🏷️ system 💻 all
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
# Run executable as long-running output plugin
[[outputs.execd]]
## One program to run as daemon.
## NOTE: process and each argument should each be their own string
command = ["my-telegraf-output", "--some-flag", "value"]
## Environment variables
## Array of "key=value" pairs to pass as environment variables
## e.g. "KEY=value", "USERNAME=John Doe",
## "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/custom/lib64:/usr/local/libs"
# environment = []
## Delay before the process is restarted after an unexpected termination
restart_delay = "10s"
## Flag to determine whether execd should throw error when part of metrics is unserializable
## Setting this to true will skip the unserializable metrics and process the rest of metrics
## Setting this to false will throw error when encountering unserializable metrics and none will be processed
## This setting does not apply when use_batch_format is set.
# ignore_serialization_error = false
## Use batch serialization instead of per metric. The batch format allows for the
## production of batch output formats and may more efficiently encode and write metrics.
# use_batch_format = false
## Data format to export.
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
