salt.returners.influxdb_return¶

Return data to an influxdb server.

To enable this returner the minion will need the python client for influxdb installed and the following values configured in the minion or master config, these are the defaults:

influxdb.db: 'salt'
influxdb.user: 'salt'
influxdb.password: 'salt'
influxdb.host: 'localhost'
influxdb.port: 8086

Alternative configuration values can be used by prefacing the configuration. Any values not found in the alternative configuration will be pulled from the default location:

alternative.influxdb.db: 'salt'
alternative.influxdb.user: 'salt'
alternative.influxdb.password: 'salt'
alternative.influxdb.host: 'localhost'
alternative.influxdb.port: 6379

To use the influxdb returner, append '--return influxdb' to the salt command.

salt '*' test.ping --return influxdb

To use the alternative configuration, append '--return_config alternative' to the salt command.

salt '*' test.ping --return influxdb --return_config alternative
