💖 InfluxDB — dsc-data...influxdb(7) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about the InfluxDB output for dsc-datatool. yes it's a manual page from the Miscellaneous Information Manual, and yes it's about to be your new fave. this is the bit that takes your dataset and yeets it out in a format InfluxDB can just... eat. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dsc-datatool --output ";InfluxDB;<options...>"

that's the whole vibe. you tack ;InfluxDB; onto your --output and then pile your options after it. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, this output generates InfluxDB-importable output and sends it to stdout — or to a file if you're feeling fancy and specify one. it literally just makes the metrics go from "dataset" to "InfluxDB please understand this". it's giving translator energy. 🦋

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • timestamp=[start|stop] — pick which timestamp from the dataset gets used in the InfluxDB output, so InfluxDB knows when the metrics actually took place. choose start or choose stop, that's the whole menu. defaults to the start timestamp, so if you don't say anything, it's start. periodt.
  • file=<filename> — tell it to write to a file instead of stdout. your output, your destination, your rules. 🍓
  • append — if you give this one, the output gets appended to the file you specified rather than overwritten. lowkey the polite option if you don't wanna lose what's already there. 🙈
  • dml — adds a # DML header to the output. it's a little header, it's a little moment. ⭐
  • database=name — if you're using dml, this lets you specify which database the output should be imported into. so like, dml + database=name = the iconic duo. 👑
