Testing out the new Influx DB Line Protocol Data Source

[Wingnut2.0]

Hello,

While testing the data source, the help section indicates the following -

There are 2 env properties that configure how the Line Protocol endpoint behaves.

lineProtocol.task.queueWarningSize - Size of line queue at to which raise an event warning of queue growth
lineProtocol.pointValidation.cacheExpirySeconds - When creating data points Mango will cache the existing points on this data source for performance during validation, this is how long they should live in the cache

These 2 lines do not exist in the env.properties file. Could you provide an example of what the recommended defaults should be?

Thank you.

The defaults that will be used if no property exists are:

lineProtocol.task.queueWarningSize: 10000
lineProtocol.pointValidation.cacheExpirySeconds: 5000

Basically you will have to experiment with your setup and these would only need to be adjusted when you see performance degradation.

Thank you, Terry.

While testing, I am using the following input

[[inputs.win_perf_counters.object]]
# Processor usage, alternative to native, reports on a per core.
ObjectName = "Processor"
Instances = [""]
Counters = [
"% Idle Time",
"% Interrupt Time",
"% Privileged Time",
"% User Time",
"% Processor Time",
"% DPC Time",
]
Measurement = "win_cpu"
# Set to true to include _Total instance when querying for all ().
IncludeTotal=true

The message to be sent is the following

win_cpu,host=LAPTOP,instance=2,objectname=Processor,source=telegraf Percent_DPC_Time=0,Percent_Idle_Time=89.79866790771484,Percent_Interrupt_Time=0,Percent_Privileged_Time=0,Percent_Processor_Time=3.9585533142089844,Percent_User_Time=3.098111152648926 1604960081000000000

What is making it to Mango ends up looking like this

Along with some additional errors for points that failed to be created.

I do have Treat integers as Numeric types checked but seem to keep getting NumberFormatExceptions and Invalid Line Length errors. Can Mango only handle a single value being sent at a time?

Thank you.
