I am trying to push data from a UDP to InfluxDB pipeline in Logstash. The logstash configuration is as follows
# Sample Logstash configuration for creating a simple
# UDP -\> Logstash -\> InfluxDB pipeline.
input {
udp {
port =\> 5000
}
}
output {
stdout {
}
influxdb {
host =\> "0.0.0.0"
port =\> 8086
db =\> "legacy"
time\_precision =\> "ms"
flush\_size =\> 1000
exclude\_fields =\> ["@version","host","@timestamp"]
use\_event\_fields\_for\_data\_points =\> true
}
}
I tried sending the message on UDP as line protocol
cpu\_load\_short,host=server02,region=us-west value=0.64 1434055562000000000
as well as cpu\_load\_short host=\>server02 region=\>us-west value=\>0.64 1434055562000000000
However, the event is inserted as a single large message rather than being inserted as appropriate tags or values.
select \* from logstash
name: logstash
time message
* * *
1573770759966000000 cpu\_load\_short host=\>server02 region=\>us-west value=\>0.64 1434055562000000000
Using the http output plugin and posting the message in line protocol works as charm.
Please advice.
