InfluxDB integration

The Sensu InfluxDB Handler plugin is a Sensu handler that sends Sensu metrics to the time-series database InfluxDB so you can store, instrument, and visualize Sensu metrics data. You can also use the Sensu InfluxDB Handler integration to create metrics from Sensu status check results for long-term storage in InfluxDB.

NOTE: The Sensu InfluxDB Handler plugin is an example of Sensu’s time-series and long-term event storage integrations. To find more integrations, search Bonsai, the Sensu asset hub.
