What is an InfluxDB?

InfluxDB is a time series database designed to handle high write and query loads. It is a NoSQL database and is intended for storing and querying series of events.

Developed by InfluxData and written in Go, InfluxDB is open-source and licensed under the MIT license. It provides a SQL-like language with built-in time-centric functions for querying a data structure composed of measurements, series, and points.

How to monitor an InfluxDB?

ServicePilot makes it easy to monitor one or more instances of InfluxDB requiring only the installation of a ServicePilot Agent on the target server. Simply add a resource from the ServicePilot database-influxdb package to your monitoring environment.

Monitoring statistics collected and analysed include:

  • Memstats measures: Total Alloc, HeapLnUsed, HeapReleased, HeapIdle, HeapAlloc, MCacheSys, BuckHashSys
  • HTTPD measures: Req, ReqActive, QueryReq, QueryRespBytes, serverError, WriteReq...
  • Write measures: Req, WriteOk, WriteReq, WriteDrop...
  • Subscriber measures: createFailures, pointsWritten, writeFailures
  • Database measures: numMeasurements, NumSeries

How to install a influxdb resource?

  1. Use your ServicePilot OnPremise installation or a SaaS account.
  2. Add a new influxdb resource via the web interface (/prmviews or /prmresources) or via API (/prmpackages page), the default ServicePilot agent or another agent will be provisioned automatically.

Details of the influxdb package are located in the /prmpackages page of the software.
