Custom Netdata configuration to send metrics to an InfluxDB
-
Hello, I have Netdata running on my host. I want to configure it to sends the metrics to an InfluxDB server.
I do this on regular Linux hosts so I know my configuration for Netdata works.
I tried putting this in /etc/netdata/netdata.conf and restarting and it's not sending anything. I can't find errors in logs.
So I am wondering if I am modifying the wrong file.
Any input or idea would be welcome!

Are you sure it's compatible with the Netdata version on the host?

As best I can tell, yes. From the /var/log/netdata I gathered it's running 1.44.1
From the docs I found in GitHub for Netdata at 1.44:
https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/v1.44/docs/export/enable-connector.md
It's possible - I use
opentsdb. -
I am not finding much in the logs which led me to wonder if I am modifying the right config file.

Honestly, this is just one way to solve what I am trying to do... I am trying to have the Host metrics (host CPU usage) in Grafana to plot on a dashboard along side other data.
Having the data in InfluxDB is not necessarily the goal here. Just a way to reach it. I am running a fairly old version of Grafana.
