# Erlang InfluxDB UDP Writer
Write data to [InfluxDB](http://influxdb.com) (>= 0.9) via UDP (see [InfluxDB docs](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/supported_protocols/udp/)).
**Erlang/OTP version:** >=17.1
## Setup
rebar.config
```erlang
%% using Hex
{deps, [
influx_udp
]}.
%% from source
{deps, [
{influx_udp, ".*", {git, "https://github.com/palkan/influx_udp.git", "master"}}
]}.
```
app.config
```erlang
[
{influx_udp,
[
{influx_host, '127.0.0.1'},
{influx_port, 8089},
{pool_size, 5}, %% defaults to 3
{max_overflow, 10} %% defaults to 1
]
}
].
```
## Usage
First, you need to start the application:
```erlang
influx_udp:start().
```
Now you can create _pools_ and write data to InfluxDB.
## Pools
The default pool is started on application start if you specified `influx_host` and `influx_port` in the configuration file (see above).
You can run pools manually:
```erlang
influx_udp:start_pool(my_pool, #{ host => 'yet.another.influx.host' }).
```
Options not specified in `influx_udp:start_pool/2` would be taken from the default configuration.
## Writing data
```erlang
%% Writing to the named pool with tags
influx_udp:write_to(
my_pool,
Series::string()|atom()|binary(), Points::list(map())|list(proplists:proplist())|map()|proplists:proplist(),
Tags::proplists:proplist()|map()).
influx_udp:write_to(my_pool, "cpu", [{value, 88}], [{host, 'eu-west'}]).
%% Writing to default pool
influx_udp:write("cpu", [#{value => 88}, #{value => 22}, #{value => 33}], [{host, 'eu-west'}]).
%% Writing data with time
influx_udp:write("cpu", #{value => 88}, #{host => 'eu-west'}, 1434055562000000000).
%% or with current time
influx_udp:write("cpu", #{value => 88}, #{host => 'eu-west'}, true).
%% Writing to default pool without tags
influx_udp:write(Series, Points).
%% Writing raw valid InfluxDB input data
influx_udp:write(Data::binary()).
%% or
influx_udp:write_to(my_pool, Data::binary()).
%% Write Influx-valid map or proplist
influx_udp:write(#{ measurement => test, fields => #{ val => 1} }).
%% or many points
influx_udp:write(
#{ measurement => test, fields => #{ val => 1} },
#{ measurement => test2, fields => #{ val => 2}, tags => { host => test}}
)
```
## Encoder
Module `influx_line` provides methods to encode erlang terms to Line protocol.
Encoder automatically sets timestamps (unique) when encoding list of points (see below).
```erlang
%% convert map or proplist to line
influx_line:encode(#{ measurement => test, fields => #{ val => 1} }).
#=> <<"test val=1">>
%% convert list of points to lines
influx_line:encode([
#{ measurement => test, fields => #{ val => 1} },
#{ measurement => test2, fields => #{ val => 2}, tags => { host => test}}
]).
#=> <<"test val=1 1434305562895000000\ntest2,host=test val=2 1434305562895000001">>
%% convert any map/proplist to line
influx_line:encode(test, #{ val => 1}).
#=> <<"test val=1">>
%% convert many points with the same measurement and tags to line
influx_line:encode(test, [#{ val => 1}, #{ val => 2}], #{ host => test}, 100).
#=> <<"test,host=test val=1 100\ntest,host=test val=2 101\n">>
```
