Fluxter

Fluxter is an InfluxDB writer for Elixir. It uses InfluxDB's line protocol over UDP.

Installation

Add Fluxter as a dependency to your mix.exs file:

def application() do
  [applications: [:fluxter]]
end

defp deps() do
  [{:fluxter, "~> 0.1"}]
end

Then run mix deps.get in your shell to fetch the dependencies.

Usage

A module that uses Fluxter becomes an InfluxDB connection pool:

defmodule MyApp.Fluxter do
  use Fluxter
end

Each Fluxter pool provides a start_link/0 function that starts the pool and connects to InfluxDB; this function needs to be invoked before the pool can be used. Usually, you won't call start_link/0 directly as you'll want to use a Fluxter pool as part of your application's supervision tree. For example:

def start(_type, _args) do
  import Supervisor.Spec

  children = [
    supervisor(MyApp.Fluxter, []),
    #...
  ]
  Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
end

Once the Fluxter pool is started, its write/2,3 and measure/2,3,4 functions can successfully be used to send points to the data store.

Much more information can be found in the documentation.
