Configuration

This section explains each of the properties in the configuration blade. 
General
Property
Description
Collection
This associates the Agent to a specific Collection (default to that of the current Data Stream).
Refer to Collections and Stream Hosts to understand more about Collections.
Database
Once the URL, Token, and Org are entered, the Agent will attempt to connect with the influx DB Cloud. If successful, the Bucket is populated with a list of available buckets.
Property
Description
Use Connection Variables
Tick to select saved variables; or enter the text manually for the authentication properties.
URL
The address of the Influx Data Cloud.
Token
The API token generated through Influx DB Cloud.
Organization (Org)
The workspace for a user. Usually part of the URL address that identifies the workspace.
Buckets
The named location where time series data is persisted for the retention period.
ReadWrite Timout
The time-out in milliseconds when writing to or reading from a stream.
Socket Timeout
The amount of time from when the socket connects until the connection breaks.
Enable GZip
Tick to shrink the data to transfer it over the web using Gzip compression.
Payload
Property
Description
Tags (Key, Value)
The Key (static) and Value (column or attribute of the input payload) of each tag property, as they will be written to the bucket's measurement. 
Fields (Key, Value)
The Key (static) and Value (column or attribute of the input payload) of each field property, as they will be written to the bucket's measurement.           
Before configuring the Action Agent, please ensure that its input endpoint is connected to a parent Agent which will be sending data to it.
Input Mapping
Name
Description
MeasurementTitle (String)
The column or attribute of the input payload that contains the bucket's measurement to which the tags and fields will be added.
Refer to Setup Input Mappings for step-by-step instructions. 
Endpoints
Name
Description
Input 
This endpoint is used to receive data from the parent Agent.
Output
Events received from the parent Agent are processed (written to InfluxDB) and made available to this Endpoint unchanged.
