The Carbon exporter supports Carbon's plaintext protocol.

Configuration

The following settings are required:

• endpoint (default = localhost:2003): Address and port that the exporter should send data to.

Example:

exporters:
  carbon:
    # by default it will export to localhost:2003 using tcp
  carbon/allsettings:
    # use endpoint to specify alternative destinations for the exporter,
    # the default is localhost:2003
    endpoint: localhost:8080
    # timeout is the maximum duration allowed to connecting and sending the
    # data to the configured endpoint.
    # The default is 5 seconds.
    timeout: 10s

The full list of settings exposed for this receiver are documented in config.go with detailed sample configurations in testdata/config.yaml.

Advanced Configuration

Several helper files are leveraged to provide additional capabilities automatically:

• net settings
• Queuing, retry and timeout settings
