chainpoint-influx v1.0.0

Chainpoint Influx

A lightweight wrapper around the officially supported influx package providing simple batching functionality and enable/disable of writes.

Installation

For Node, simply:

$ yarn add chainpoint-influx

Usage

const { InfluxDB } = require('chainpoint-influx')

To instantiate an Influx object, make the same constructor as you would with the officially supported influx package and pass an additional config object which is optional and whose object signature can be seen in the code snippet below.

const influx = new InfluxDB(<IClusterConfig|ISingleHostConfig|string>, {
    enabled: true,
    batching: true,
    batchSize: 10,
    flushingInterval: 15 * 1000 // 15secs
})

How this package differs from influx

NOTE: This package only introduces two mutation points towards the original influx package which are as follows:

1. This package overrides the method: writePoints()
2. This package introduces a new method flushEventQueue() which is only invoked when batching has been enabled

Also, flushing the event queue is something that cannot be overwritten, if batching has been enabled, the event queue will always be flushed at the specified (or default of 10 seconds) interval.
