Edge Delta Self Telemetry Source

Overview

The Edge Delta Self Telemetry source node produces metrics based on:

• agent statistics,
• incoming and outgoing stats for pipelines, and
• health data of the nodes in the graph.

It feeds the the Edge Delta Destination, and is used to power the Metrics Explorer page and the per node throughput data on the Pipeline view. It can also send this data to other destinations. You should not remove this node as it will disable these feature.

• outgoing_data_types: health, metric

To see metrics generated by this node, use the Metrics Inventory and search by node name (opens Edge Delta).

Example Configuration

nodes:
- name: ed_self_telemetry_input
  type: ed_self_telemetry_input
  enable_health_metrics: true
  enable_agent_stats_metrics: true

links:
- from: ed_self_telemetry_input
  to: edgedelta

Data from this node does not contribute to your plan usage.

Required Parameters

name

A descriptive name for the node. This is the name that will appear in Visual Pipelines and you can reference this node in the YAML using the name. It must be unique across all nodes. It is a YAML list element so it begins with a - and a space followed by the string. It is a required parameter for all nodes.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: <node type>

type: ed_agent_stats_input

The type parameter specifies the type of node being configured. It is specified as a string from a closed list of node types. It is a required parameter.

nodes:
  - name: <node name>
    type: <node type>

Optional Parameters

enable_health_metrics

The enable_health_metrics parameter defines whether to ingest health metrics. it is specified as a Boolean and the default value is true. The enable_health_metrics parameter is optional.

nodes:
- name: ed_self_telemetry_input
  type: ed_self_telemetry_input
  enable_health_metrics: true

enable_agent_stats_metrics

The enable_agent_stats_metrics parameter defines whether to ingest agent statistics metrics. it is specified as a Boolean and the default value is true. The enable_agent_stats_metrics parameter is optional.

nodes:
- name: ed_self_telemetry_input
  type: ed_self_telemetry_input
  enable_agent_stats_metrics: true
