Prometheus Remote Write input data format

Use the prometheusremotewrite input data format to parse Prometheus Remote Write samples into Telegraf metrics.

If you are using InfluxDB 1.x and the [Prometheus Remote Write endpoint](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/plugins/parsers/prometheusremotewrite/README.md to write in metrics, you can migrate to InfluxDB 2.0 and use this parser. For the metrics to completely align with the 1.x endpoint, add a Starlark processor as described here.

Converts prometheus remote write samples directly into Telegraf metrics. It can be used with http_listener_v2. There are no additional configuration options for Prometheus Remote Write Samples.

Configuration

[[inputs.http_listener_v2]]
  ## Address and port to host HTTP listener on
  service_address = ":1234"

  ## Paths to listen to.
  paths = ["/receive"]

  ## Data format to consume.
  data_format = "prometheusremotewrite"

Example Input

prompb.WriteRequest{
        Timeseries: []*prompb.TimeSeries{
            {
                Labels: []*prompb.Label{
                    {Name: "__name__", Value: "go_gc_duration_seconds"},
                    {Name: "instance", Value: "localhost:9090"},
                    {Name: "job", Value: "prometheus"},
                    {Name: "quantile", Value: "0.99"},
                },
                Samples: []prompb.Sample{
                    {Value: 4.63, Timestamp: time.Date(2020, 4, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC).UnixNano()},
                },
            },
        },
    }

Example Output

prometheus_remote_write,instance=localhost:9090,job=prometheus,quantile=0.99 go_gc_duration_seconds=4.63 1614889298859000000

For alignment with the InfluxDB v1.x Prometheus Remote Write Spec

The future of Flux

Flux is going into maintenance mode. You can continue using it as you currently are without any changes to your code.

Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.
