salt.modules.influx

InfluxDB - A distributed time series database

Module to provide InfluxDB compatibility to Salt (compatible with InfluxDB version 0.5+)

New in version 2014.7.0.

depends:
  • influxdb Python module
configuration:

This module accepts connection configuration details either as parameters or as configuration settings in /etc/salt/minion on the relevant minions:

influxdb.host: 'localhost'
influxdb.port: 8086
influxdb.user: 'root'
influxdb.password: 'root'

This data can also be passed into pillar. Options passed into opts will overwrite options passed into pillar.
