Graphite

ENTERPRISE: Built-in integrations are available for Sensu Enterprise users only.

Overview

Send metrics to Graphite, using the plaintext protocol over TCP. The graphite enterprise handler is also capable of sending metrics to Hosted Graphite, using the prefix attribute to prefix metric names with the Hosted Graphite API key. This handler uses the output_format mutator.

Configuration

Example(s)

The following is an example global configuration for the graphite enterprise handler (integration).

{
  "graphite": {
    "host": "graphite.example.com",
    "port": 2003,
    "prefix_source": false,
    "prefix": "production"
  }
}
