Consul Input Plugin

This plugin will collect statistics about all health checks registered in the Consul. It uses Consul API to query the data. It will not report the telemetry but Consul can report those stats already using StatsD protocol if needed.

Configuration

toml

# Gather health check statuses from services registered in Consul
[[instances]]
  ## Consul server address
  # address = "localhost:8500"

  ## URI scheme for the Consul server, one of "http", "https"
  # scheme = "http"

  ## ACL token used in every request
  # token = ""

  ## HTTP Basic Authentication username and password.
  # username = ""
  # password = ""

  ## Data center to query the health checks from
  # datacenter = ""

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/categraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/categraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/categraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = true
