Input and output integration overview
The HTTP plugin allows for the collection of metrics from specified HTTP endpoints, handling various data formats and authentication methods.
The Microsoft Fabric plugin writes metrics to Real time analytics in Fabric services, enabling powerful data storage and analysis capabilities.
Integration details
HTTP
The HTTP plugin collects metrics from one or more HTTP(S) endpoints, which should have metrics formatted in one of the supported input data formats. It also supports secrets from secret-stores for various authentication options and includes globally supported configuration settings.
Microsoft Fabric
This plugin allows you to leverage Microsoft Fabric’s capabilities to store and analyze your Telegraf metrics. Eventhouse is a high-performance, scalable data-store designed for real-time analytics. It allows you to ingest, store and query large volumes of data with low latency. The plugin supports both events and metrics with versatile grouping options. It provides various configuration parameters including connection strings specifying details like the data source, ingestion types, and which tables to use for storage. With support for streaming ingestion and event streams, this plugin enables seamless integration and data flow into Microsoft’s analytics ecosystem, allowing for rich data querying capabilities and near-real-time processing.
Configuration
HTTP
[[inputs.http]]
## One or more URLs from which to read formatted metrics.
urls = [
"http://localhost/metrics",
"http+unix:///run/user/420/podman/podman.sock:/d/v4.0.0/libpod/pods/json"
]
## HTTP method
# method = "GET"
## Optional HTTP headers
# headers = {"X-Special-Header" = "Special-Value"}
## HTTP entity-body to send with POST/PUT requests.
# body = ""
## HTTP Content-Encoding for write request body, can be set to "gzip" to
## compress body or "identity" to apply no encoding.
# content_encoding = "identity"
## Optional Bearer token settings to use for the API calls.
## Use either the token itself or the token file if you need a token.
# token = "eyJhbGc...Qssw5c"
# token_file = "/path/to/file"
## Optional HTTP Basic Auth Credentials
# username = "username"
# password = "pa$$word"
## OAuth2 Client Credentials. The options 'client_id', 'client_secret', and 'token_url' are required to use OAuth2.
# client_id = "clientid"
# client_secret = "secret"
# token_url = "https://indentityprovider/oauth2/v1/token"
# scopes = ["urn:opc:idm:__myscopes__"]
## HTTP Proxy support
# use_system_proxy = false
# http_proxy_url = ""
## Optional TLS Config
## Set to true/false to enforce TLS being enabled/disabled. If not set,
## enable TLS only if any of the other options are specified.
# tls_enable =
## Trusted root certificates for server
# tls_ca = "/path/to/cafile"
## Used for TLS client certificate authentication
# tls_cert = "/path/to/certfile"
## Used for TLS client certificate authentication
# tls_key = "/path/to/keyfile"
## Password for the key file if it is encrypted
# tls_key_pwd = ""
## Send the specified TLS server name via SNI
# tls_server_name = "kubernetes.example.com"
## Minimal TLS version to accept by the client
# tls_min_version = "TLS12"
## List of ciphers to accept, by default all secure ciphers will be accepted
## See https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/tls#pkg-constants for supported values.
## Use "all", "secure" and "insecure" to add all support ciphers, secure
## suites or insecure suites respectively.
# tls_cipher_suites = ["secure"]
## Renegotiation method, "never", "once" or "freely"
# tls_renegotiation_method = "never"
## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
## Optional Cookie authentication
# cookie_auth_url = "https://localhost/authMe"
# cookie_auth_method = "POST"
# cookie_auth_username = "username"
# cookie_auth_password = "pa$$word"
# cookie_auth_headers = { Content-Type = "application/json", X-MY-HEADER = "hello" }
# cookie_auth_body = '{"username": "user", "password": "pa$$word", "authenticate": "me"}'
## cookie_auth_renewal not set or set to "0" will auth once and never renew the cookie
# cookie_auth_renewal = "5m"
## Amount of time allowed to complete the HTTP request
# timeout = "5s"
## List of success status codes
# success_status_codes = [200]
## Data format to consume.
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
## more about them here:
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
# data_format = "influx"
Microsoft Fabric

## The URI property of the resource on Azure
connection_string = "https://trd-abcd.xx.kusto.fabric.microsoft.com;Database=kusto_eh;Table Name=telegraf_dump;Key=value"
## Client timeout
# timeout = "30s"
Input and output integration examples
HTTP
- Collecting Metrics from Localhost: The plugin can fetch metrics from an HTTP endpoint like
http://localhost/metrics
, allowing for easy local monitoring. - Using Unix Domain Sockets: You can specify metrics collection from services over Unix domain sockets by using the http+unix scheme, for example,
http+unix:///path/to/service.sock:/api/endpoint
.
Microsoft Fabric
-
Real-time Monitoring Dashboards: Utilize the Microsoft Fabric plugin to feed live metrics from your applications into a real-time dashboard on Microsoft Fabric. This allows teams to visualize key performance indicators instantly, enabling quick decision-making and timely responses to performance issues.
-
Automated Data Ingestion from IoT Devices: Use this plugin in scenarios where metrics from IoT devices need to be ingested into Azure for analysis. Using the plugin’s capabilities, data can be streamed continuously, facilitating real-time analytics and reporting without complex coding efforts.
-
Cross-Platform Data Aggregation: Leverage the plugin to consolidate metrics from multiple systems and applications into a single Azure Data Explorer table. This use case enables easier data management and analysis by centralizing disparate data sources within a unified analytics framework.
-
Enhanced Event Transformation Workflows: Integrate the plugin with Eventstreams to facilitate real-time event ingestion and transformation. By configuring different metrics and partition keys, users can manipulate the flow of data as it enters the system, allowing for advanced processing before the data reaches its final destination.
