embulk-output-influxdb

This is an output plugin for Embulk, a bulk data loader, that enables writing processed data into InfluxDB time-series databases. It provides a reliable and configurable way to integrate data pipelines with InfluxDB for monitoring, analytics, and IoT applications.

Key Features

• Dynamic Database Creation — Automatically creates the specified InfluxDB database if it does not exist.
• Dynamic Series Creation — Automatically creates data series within the database.
• Flexible Data Mapping — Supports mapping input columns to InfluxDB tags, timestamps, and fields, with options to ignore specific columns.
• Insert and Replace Modes — Offers 'insert' for appending data and 'replace' for overwriting existing series.
• Time Precision Control — Allows configuration of timestamp precision (e.g., seconds, milliseconds) for accurate time-series data.
• Placeholder Support — Enables dynamic series naming using column value placeholders in configuration.

Philosophy

The plugin is designed to be a lightweight and efficient bridge between Embulk's data processing capabilities and InfluxDB's time-series storage, emphasizing simplicity in configuration and reliability in data transfer.
