Configuration Parameters

These are the following parameters, that let you create an HTTP based InfluxDB Connection

Config Parameter	Description
ID	Text String that uniquely identify the influxdb connection
Host	The hostname/IP to connect
Port	The port to connect
DB	InfluxDB database's Name
User	Username with WRITE privileges on selected InfluxDB database
Password	Password of related User
Retention Policy	Database retention policy name
Timestamp Precision	Time units of the Timestamp
Timeout	Connection timeout
User Agent	HTTP user agent sent to the database backend ( useful to debug input data from de backend view), if not set the agent will send as user agent snmpCollector-<InstanceID> (from the [general] config.toml section)
Description	Some useful description to administrators

Dummy Server

Until the user doesn't set up any database, an internal dummy server is created to send data from all gathered devices discarding data at the end of poll.

The "default" Server

SnmpCollector is able to send its own stats to InfluxDB: it will look for an InfluxDB Server named "default" to use as output backend, if it doesn't exist It will send over the Dummy Server.

(Pending define default and dummy influxservers)
