CrateDB Output Plugin

This plugin writes to CrateDB via its PostgreSQL protocol.

Table Schema

The plugin requires a table with the following schema.

CREATE TABLE my_metrics (
  "hash_id" LONG INDEX OFF,
  "timestamp" TIMESTAMP,
  "name" STRING,
  "tags" OBJECT(DYNAMIC),
  "fields" OBJECT(DYNAMIC),
  PRIMARY KEY ("timestamp", "hash_id","day")
) PARTITIONED BY("day");

The plugin can create this table for you automatically via the table_create config option, see below.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
