The following yaml file provides a sample configuration which uses telegraf and docker as input plugins and influx and influx_v2 as output plugins - telegraf.yaml
For the docker input plugin to work we must mount /var/run/docker.sock into our container, we also need to set the security context for the container. To do this follow the instructions below.
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
# Setup the telegraf user
sudo useradd -g docker telegraf
sudo passwd telegraf
id telegraf
uid=1001(telegraf) gid=1001(docker) groups=1001(docker)
Log into the container and see what group docker.sock is assigned to
/ $ ls -l /var/run/docker.sock
srw-rw---- 1 root ping 0 Mar 16 07:35 /var/run/docker.sock
# Get the id of the group
/ $ getent group ping
ping:x:999
# We now have the 3 ids we need for the security context
securityContext:
runAsUser: 1001
runAsGroup: 1001
fsGroup: 999 |
Change these values in your container if they are different from above.telegraf.yaml
Our metrics are being collected into the telegraf bucket.
