@blitt/good-influx is a write stream used to send events to InfluxDB endpoints in batches. If your endpoint is http:// or https://, it makes a "POST" request with a plain-text payload to the supplied endpoint. It will make a final "POST" request to the endpoint to flush the rest of the data on "finish".
If the supplied endpoint is a udp:// endpoint then @blitt/good-influx will send the stats via UDP. This may improve application performance since UDP does not wait for a response. Though it does fail silently, so you run the risk that your stats are failing to record and you don't know about it.
endpoint - full path to remote server's InfluxDB HTTP API end point to transmit InfluxDB statistics (e.g. http://localhost:8086/write?db=good)
config - configuration object (Optional)
[threshold] - number of events to hold before transmission. Defaults to 20. Set to 0 to have every event start transmission instantly. It is recommended to have a set threshold to make data transmission more efficient.
[errorThreshold] - number of erroring message sends to tolerate before the plugin fails. Default is 0.
[wreck] - configuration object to pass into wreck. Defaults to { timeout: 60000, headers: {} }. content-type is always "text/plain".
[udpType] - UDP type; defaults to udp4. Probably not necessary to change, but more documentation is available on the NodeJS Dgram Documentation
[metadata] - arbitrary information you would like to include in your InfluxDB stats. This helps you query InfluxDB for the statistics you want.
