Collectd-influxdb-proxy
---

Small proxy between collectd and influxdb.

On collectd side, add following plugin

    LoadPlugin "write_http"
    <Plugin "write_http">
      <URL "http://10.0.0.130:8079">
        Format "JSON"
      </URL>
    </Plugin>

Where 10.0.0.130:8079 is the listening point of your collectd-influxdb proxy.

To start the proxy

    node proxy.js --influxdb_db mydb --influxdb_user myuser --influxdb_password mypassword

Where mydb, myuser and myspassword are connection parameter to Influxdb. By default, collectd-influxb-proxy assume influxdb is deployed on the same server.

Other collectd-influxdb-proxy :

    node proxy.js [options]
    options :

      --proxy_http_address address : proxy http address, default value 0.0.0.0
