# Kapacitor Input Plugin

The Kapacitor plugin collects metrics from the given Kapacitor instances.

### Configuration:

```toml
[[inputs.kapacitor]]
  ## Multiple URLs from which to read Kapacitor-formatted JSON
  ## Default is "http://localhost:9092/kapacitor/v1/debug/vars".
  urls = [
    "http://localhost:9092/kapacitor/v1/debug/vars"
  ]

  ## Time limit for http requests
  timeout = "5s"

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

### kapacitor
The `kapacitor` measurement stores fields with information related to
[Kapacitor tasks](https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/latest/introduction/getting-started/#kapacitor-tasks)
and [subscriptions](https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/latest/administration/subscription-management/).

#### num_enabled_tasks
The number of enabled Kapacitor tasks.

#### num_subscriptions
The number of Kapacitor/InfluxDB subscriptions.

#### num_tasks
The total number of Kapacitor tasks.

---

### kapacitor_alert
The `kapacitor_alert` measurement stores fields with information related to
[Kapacitor alerts](https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/v1.5/working/alerts/).

#### notification-dropped
The number of internal notifications dropped because they arrive too late from another Kapacitor node.
If this count is increasing, Kapacitor Enterprise nodes aren't able to communicate fast enough
to keep up with the volume of alerts.

#### primary-handle-count
The number of times this node handled an alert as the primary. This count should increase under normal conditions.

#### secondary-handle-count
The number of times this node handled an alert as the secondary. An increase in this counter indicates that the primary is failing to handle alerts in a timely manner.

---

### kapacitor_cluster
The `kapacitor_cluster` measurement reflects the ability of [Kapacitor nodes to communicate](https://docs.influxdata.com/enterprise_kapacitor/v1.5/administration/configuration/#cluster-communications) with one another. Specifically, these metrics track the gossip communication between the Kapacitor nodes.

#### dropped_member_events

#### dropped_user_events
The number of gossip user events that were dropped.

---

### kapacitor_edges

#### emitted
The number of messages emitted by TICKscript edges.

---

### kapacitor_ingress
The `kapacitor_ingress` measurement stores fields with information related to data
coming into Kapacitor.

The number of errors reported from the load directory service.

---

### kapacitor_memstats
The `kapacitor_memstats` measurement stores fields related to Kapacitor memory usage.

The number of bytes of memory used by the profiling bucket hash table.

#### frees
The number of heap objects freed.

#### gc_sys_bytes
The number of bytes of memory used for garbage collection system metadata.

#### gc_cpu_fraction
The fraction of Kapacitor's available CPU time used by garbage collection since
Kapacitor started.

#### heap_alloc_bytes
The number of reachable and unreachable heap objects garbage collection has
not freed.

#### heap_idle_bytes
The number of heap bytes waiting to be used.

#### heap_in_use_bytes
The number of heap bytes in use.

#### heap_objects
The number of allocated objects.

#### heap_released_bytes
The number of heap bytes released to the operating system.

#### heap_sys_bytes
The number of heap bytes obtained from `system`.

#### last_gc_ns

#### lookups
The total number of pointer lookups.

#### mallocs
The total number of mallocs.

#### next_gc_ns
The nanosecond epoch time of the next garbage collection.

#### num_gc
The number of completed garbage collection cycles.

#### other_sys_bytes
The number of bytes used for other system allocations.

#### pause_total_ns
The total number of nanoseconds spent in garbage collection "stop-the-world"
pauses since Kapacitor started.

#### stack_in_use_bytes
The number of bytes in use by the stack allocator.

#### stack_sys_bytes
The number of bytes obtained from `system` for stack allocator.

#### sys_bytes
The number of bytes of memory obtained from `system`.

#### total_alloc_bytes
The total number of bytes allocated, even if freed.

---

### kapacitor_nodes
The `kapacitor_nodes` measurement stores fields related to events that occur in
[TICKscript nodes](https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/latest/nodes/).

#### alerts_inhibited
The total number of alerts inhibited by TICKscripts.

#### alerts_triggered
The total number of alerts triggered by TICKscripts.

#### avg_exec_time_ns
The average execution time of TICKscripts in nanoseconds.

#### crits_triggered

#### collected
The number of events collected by Kapacitor topics.

---

*Note:* The Kapacitor variables `host`, `cluster_id`, and `server_id`
are currently not recorded due to the potential high cardinality of
these values.
