salt.modules.influxdbmod

InfluxDB - A distributed time series database

Module to provide InfluxDB compatibility to Salt (compatible with InfluxDB version 0.9+)

depends

• influxdb Python module (>= 3.0.0)

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.

Most functions in this module allow you to override or provide some or all of these settings via keyword arguments:

salt '*' influxdb.foo_function influxdb_user='influxadmin' influxdb_password='s3cr1t'

would override user and password while still using the defaults for host and port.

salt.modules.influxdbmod.alter_retention_policy(database, name, duration, replication, default=False, **client_args)

Modify an existing retention policy.

name

Name of the retention policy to modify.

database

Name of the database for which the retention policy was defined.

duration

New duration of given retention policy.

Durations such as 1h, 90m, 12h, 7d, and 4w, are all supported and mean 1 hour, 90 minutes, 12 hours, 7 day, and 4 weeks, respectively. For infinite retention – meaning the data will never be deleted – use 'INF' for duration. The minimum retention period is 1 hour.

replication

New replication of given retention policy.

This determines how many independent copies of each data point are stored in a cluster.

defaultFalse

Whether or not to set the modified policy as default.

CLI Example:

salt '*' influxdb.alter_retention_policy metrics default 1d 1

salt.modules.influxdbmod.continuous_query_exists(database, name, **client_args)
