A docker-based service that makes Kapacitor httpOut endpoints accessible to Grafana
This is a simple node-based service that translates Kapacitor httpOut data into a format readable by Grafana's Simple JSON datasource. Grafana will recieve any and all data in you specified httOut node, with groupings and tags intact.
Once you have tasks defined in kapacitor and the endpoints are emitting JSON data...
In Docker:
docker run -e KAPGRAF_SHIM_KAPACITOR_HOST=<kapacitor_host> -e KAPGRAF_SHIM_KAPACITOR_PORT=<port> -p 3333:3333 citilogics/grafana-json-kapacitor-shim
Outside of Docker:
Configure these environment variables
KAPGRAF_SHIM_KAPACITOR_HOST=<kapacitor_host>
KAPGRAF_SHIM_KAPACITOR_PORT=<port>
by default your influx kapacitor port is 9092.
to start the server
npm install
node index.js
runs on port 3333
Download the SimpleJSON datasource plugin for your grafana dashboard SimpleJSON It acts as a data source provider, therefore we need to configure it as follows.
-
In configuration > datasource > add new datasource fill the details and select type to be SimpleJSON
-
In the graph data source property select the data source that was created in previous step
-
Your list of kapacitor tasks will now be visible.
