# Riak Input Plugin

This plugin gathers metrics from [Riak](https://riak.com/) instances.

**Introduced in:** Telegraf v0.10.4
**Tags:** server
**OS support:** all

[riak]: https://riak.com/

## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#plugins) for more details.

[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins

## Configuration

```toml @sample.conf
# Read metrics one or many Riak servers
[[inputs.riak]]
  # Specify a list of one or more riak http servers
  servers = ["http://localhost:8098"]
```

## Metrics

- riak:
  - tags:
    - server   (host:port of the given server address)
    - nodename (internal node name received)
  - fields
    - cpu_avg1

    - cpu_avg5
    - memory_code
    - memory_ets
    - memory_processes
    - memory_system
    - memory_total
    - node_get_fsm_objsize_100
    - node_get_fsm_objsize_95
    - node_get_fsm_objsize_99
    - node_get_fsm_objsize_mean
    - node_get_fsm_objsize_median
    - node_get_fsm_siblings_100

    - node_get_fsm_siblings_mean
    - node_get_fsm_siblings_median
    - node_get_fsm_time_100
    - node_get_fsm_time_95
    - node_get_fsm_time_99
    - node_get_fsm_time_mean
    - node_get_fsm_time_median
    - node_gets
    - node_gets_total
    - node_put_fsm_time_100
    - node_put_fsm_time_95
    - node_put_fsm_time_99
    - node_put_fsm_time_mean
    - node_put_fsm_time_median
    - node_puts
    - node_puts_total
    - pbc_active
    - pbc_connects
    - pbc_connects_total
    - vnode_gets
    - vnode_gets_total
    - vnode_index_reads
    - vnode_index_reads_total
