Amazon CloudWatch Output for Telegraf

This plugin will send metrics to Amazon CloudWatch.

Amazon Authentication

This plugin uses a credential chain for Authentication with the CloudWatch API endpoint. In the following order the plugin will attempt to authenticate.

1. Assumed credentials via STS if role_arn attribute is specified (source credentials are evaluated from subsequent rules)
2. Explicit credentials from access_key, secret_key, and token attributes
3. Shared profile from profile attribute
4. Environment Variables
5. Shared Credentials
6. EC2 Instance Profile

Config

For this output plugin to function correctly the following variables must be configured.

• region
• endpoint_override
• namespace

region

The region is the Amazon region that you wish to connect to. Examples include but are not limited to:

• us-west-1
• us-west-2
• us-east-1
• ap-southeast-1
• ap-southeast-2

endpoint_override

The endpoint_override is the endpoint you want to use other than the default endpoint based on the region information.

namespace

The namespace used for AWS CloudWatch metrics.

Functions

func BuildDimensions

func BuildDimensions(mTags map[string]string) []*cloudwatch.Dimension

Make a list of Dimensions by using a Point's tags. CloudWatch supports up to 10 dimensions per metric so we only keep up to the first 10 alphabetically. This always includes the "host" tag if it exists.

func GetUniqueRollupList

func GetUniqueRollupList(inputLists [][]string) [][]string

Types
