Small proxy between collectd and influxdb.
On collectd side, add following plugin
LoadPlugin "write_http"
<Plugin "write_http">
<Node "example">
URL "http://10.0.0.130:8079"
Format "JSON"
</Node>
</Plugin>
Where 10.0.0.130:8079 is the listening point of your collectd-influxdb proxy.
To start the proxy
node proxy.js --influxdb_db mydb --influxdb_user myuser --influxdb_password mypassword
Where mydb, myuser and myspassword are connection parameter to Influxdb. By default, collectd-influxb-proxy assume influxdb is deployed on the same server.
Other collectd-influxdb-proxy :
node proxy.js [options]
options :
--proxy_http_port port : proxy http port, default value 8079
--proxy_http_address address : proxy http address, default value 0.0.0.0
