Websocket Output Plugin

This plugin writes metrics to a WebSocket endpoint in one of the supported data formats.

introduces in: Telegraf v1.19.0 tags: applications, web supported OS: all

Global configuration options

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 for more details.

Secret-store support

This plugin supports secrets from secret-stores for the headers option. See the secret-store documentation for more details on how to use them.

Configuration

# A plugin that can transmit metrics over WebSocket.
[[outputs.websocket]]
  ## URL is the address to send metrics to. Make sure ws or wss scheme is used.
  url = "ws://127.0.0.1:3000/telegraf"

  ## Timeouts (make sure read_timeout is larger than server ping interval or set to zero).
  # connect_timeout = "30s"
  # write_timeout = "30s"
  # read_timeout = "30s"

  ## Optionally turn on using text data frames (binary by default).
  # use_text_frames = false

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

  ## Optional SOCKS5 proxy to use
  # socks5_enabled = true
  # socks5_address = "127.0.0.1:1080"
  # socks5_username = "alice"
  # socks5_password = "pass123"

  ## Optional HTTP proxy to use
  # use_system_proxy = false
  # http_proxy_url = "http://localhost:8888"

  ## Data format to output.
  ## Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
  ## more about them here:
  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
  # data_format = "influx"

  ## NOTE: Due to the way TOML is parsed, tables must be at the END of the
  ## plugin definition, otherwise additional config options are read as part of
  ## the table

  ## Additional HTTP Upgrade headers
  # [outputs.websocket.headers]
  #   Authorization = "Bearer <TOKEN>"
