.Sh NAME
.Nm zpool_influxdb
.Nd collect ZFS pool statistics in InfluxDB line protocol format
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl e Ns | Ns Fl -execd
.Op Fl n Ns | Ns Fl -no-histogram
.Op Fl s Ns | Ns Fl -sum-histogram-buckets
.Op Fl t Ns | Ns Fl -tags Ar key Ns = Ns Ar value Ns Op , Ns Ar key Ns = Ns Ar value Ns …
.Op Ar pool
.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
produces InfluxDB-line-protocol-compatible metrics from zpools.
Like the
.Nm zpool
command,
.Nm
reads the current pool status and statistics.
Unlike the
.Nm zpool
command which is intended for humans,
.Nm
formats the output in the InfluxDB line protocol.
The expected use is as a plugin to a
metrics collector or aggregator, such as Telegraf.
.Pp
By default,
.Nm
prints pool metrics and status in the InfluxDB line protocol format.
All pools are printed, similar to the
.Nm zpool Cm status
command.
Providing a pool name restricts the output to the named pool.
.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width "-e, --execd"
.It Fl e , -execd
Run in daemon mode compatible with Telegraf's
.Nm execd
plugin.
In this mode, the pools are sampled every time a
newline appears on the standard input.
.It Fl n , -no-histogram
Do not print latency and I/O size histograms.
This can reduce the total
amount of data, but one should consider the value brought by the insights
that latency and I/O size distributions provide.
The resulting values
are suitable for graphing with Grafana's heatmap plugin.
.It Fl s , -sum-histogram-buckets
Accumulates bucket values.
By default, the values are not accumulated and the raw data appears as shown by
.Nm zpool Cm iostat .
This works well for Grafana's heatmap plugin.
Summing the buckets produces output similar to Prometheus histograms.
.It Fl t , Fl -tags Ar key Ns = Ns Ar value Ns Op , Ns Ar key Ns = Ns Ar value Ns …
Adds specified tags to the tag set.
No sanity checking is performed.
See the InfluxDB Line Protocol format documentation for details on escaping
special characters used in tags.
.It Fl h , -help
Print a usage summary.
