Installation
------------
Clone the GitHub repo and run:
$ python setup.py install
Or, to install remotely from GitHub run:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/alerta/alerta-contrib.git#subdirectory=plugins/influxdb
Note: If Alerta is installed in a python virtual environment then plugins
need to be installed into the same environment for Alerta to dynamically
discover them.
Configuration
-------------
Add `influxdb` to the list of enabled `PLUGINS` in `alertad.conf` server
configuration file and set plugin-specific variables either in the
server configuration file or as environment variables.
```python
PLUGINS = ['influxdb']
```
**Default Configuration**
```python
INFLUXDB_DSN = 'influxdb://user:pass@localhost:8086/alerta'
```
**Examples**
Define a different DSN with valid username/password:
```python
INFLUXDB_DSN = 'influxdb://alerta:p8ssw0rd@localhost:8086/alerta'
```
Only override the database name:
```python
INFLUXDB_DATABASE = 'monitoring'
```
**Query Example**
Find diskUtil values for all "Web" services:
```SQL
$ influx
