Fluxter is an InfluxDB writer for Elixir. It uses InfluxDB's line protocol over UDP.
Note: if you're using Erlang 19 or greater, you need Fluxter 0.4.0 or greater otherwise metrics reporting will (silently) not work because of network driver changes happened between Erlang 18 and Erlang 19.
Add Fluxter as a dependency to your mix.exs
file:
def application() do
[applications: [:fluxter]]
end
defp deps() do
[{:fluxter, "~> 0.4"}]
end
Then run mix deps.get
in your shell to fetch the dependencies.
A module that uses Fluxter becomes an InfluxDB connection pool:
defmodule MyApp.Fluxter do
use Fluxter
end
Each Fluxter pool provides a start_link/0
function that starts the pool and connects to InfluxDB; this function needs to be invoked before the pool can be used. Usually, you won't call start_link/0
directly as you'll want to use a Fluxter pool as part of your application's supervision tree. For example:
def start(_type, _args) do
import Supervisor.Spec
children = [
supervisor(MyApp.Fluxter, []),
#...
]
Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
end
Once the Fluxter pool is started, its write/2,3
and measure/2,3,4
functions can successfully be used to send points to the data store.
