circonus_collector

circonus_collector provides details about a specific Circonus Collector.

As well as validating a given Circonus ID, this resource can be used to discover the additional details about a collector configured within the provider. The results of a circonus_collector API call can return more than one collector per Circonus ID. Details of each individual collector in the group of collectors can be found via the details attribute described below.

NOTE regarding cirocnus_collector: The circonus_collector data source actually queries and operates on Circonus "brokers" at the broker group level. The circonus_collector is simply a renamed Circonus "broker" to make it clear what the function of the "broker" actually does: act as a fan-in agent that either pulls or has metrics pushed into it and funneled back through Circonus.

Example Usage

The following example shows how the resource might be used to obtain the name of the Circonus Collector configured on the provider.

data "circonus_collector" "ashburn" {
  id = "/broker/1"
}
