View Source InfluxTelemetryReporter (influx_telemetry_reporter v0.1.0)

A reporter that writes the events in the influx_writer.

  • You have to bring your own InfluxDB writer when using this lib. We suggest fluxter.
  • This Reporter ignores the metric type(summary, count and etc) and simply writes the report to influxdb.

This GenServer could be used in a Supervisor like:

defmodule MyApp.Telemetry do
  use Supervisor
  import Telemetry.Metrics

  def start_link(arg) do
    Supervisor.start_link(__MODULE__, arg, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  @impl true
  def init(_arg) do
    children = [
      {InfluxTelemetryReporter, metrics: metrics(), influx_writer: &MyApp.Fluxter.write/3}
    ]

    Supervisor.init(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
  end

  def metrics do
    [
      summary("vm.memory.total",
        unit: {:byte, :kilobyte},
        description: "measurement of the memory used by the Erlang VM"
      )
    ]
  end

by that it attaches itself to the events described in the metric and report the events to influxdb. Read more about metrics at https://hexdocs.pm/telemetry_metrics/Telemetry.Metrics.html
