21 + - title: ''
22 + description: |
23 + - First [install](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/setup.html) AWS SDK for C++
24 + - Here are the instructions when building from source, to ensure 3rd party dependencies are installed:
25 + ```bash
26 + git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp.git
27 + cd aws-sdk-cpp/
28 + git submodule update --init --recursive
29 + mkdir BUILT
30 + cd BUILT
31 + cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DBUILD_ONLY=kinesis ..
32 + make
33 + make install
34 + ```
35 + - `libcrypto`, `libssl`, and `libcurl` are also required to compile Netdata with Kinesis support enabled.
36 + - Next, Netdata should be re-installed from the source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available.
37 + configuration:
38 + file:
39 + name: 'exporting.conf'
40 + options:
41 + description: |
42 + Netdata automatically computes a partition key for every record with the purpose to distribute records across available shards evenly.
43 + The following options can be defined for this exporter.
44 + folding:
45 + title: 'Config options'
46 + enabled: true
47 + list:
48 + - name: 'enabled'
49 + default_value: 'no'
50 + description: 'Enables or disables an exporting connector instance (yes|no).'
51 + required: true
52 + - name: 'destination'
53 + default_value: 'no'
54 + description: 'Accepts a space separated list of hostnames, IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) and ports to connect to. Netdata will use the first available to send the metrics.'
55 + required: true
56 + detailed_description: |
57 + The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
58 + - PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
59 + - IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
60 + - PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
61 +
62 + Example IPv4:
63 + ```yaml
64 + destination = 10.11.14.2:4242 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:4242
65 + ```
66 + Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
67 + ```yaml
68 + destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
69 + ```
70 + When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.

93 + description: |
94 + Frequency of sending sending data to the external database, in seconds.
95 + required: false
96 + detailed_description: |
97 + Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
98 + send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.
99 + - name: 'buffer on failures'

101 + description: |
102 + The number of iterations (`update every` seconds) to buffer data, when the external database server is not available.
103 + required: false
104 + detailed_description: |
105 + If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).
106 + - name: 'timeout ms'
107 + default_value: '2 * update_every * 1000'

110 + - name: 'send hosts matching'
111 + default_value: 'localhost *'
112 + description: |
113 + Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns).
114 + required: false
115 + detailed_description: |
116 + Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
117 + The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
118 + filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
119 +
120 + A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
121 + use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
122 + - name: 'send charts matching'
123 + default_value: '*'
124 + description: |
125 + One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name.
126 + required: false
127 + detailed_description: |
128 + A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
129 + use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
130 + positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
131 + has a higher priority than the configuration option.
132 + - name: 'send names instead of ids'
133 + default_value: ''
134 + description: 'Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes|no).'
135 + required: false
136 + detailed_description: |
137 + Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
138 + are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
139 + different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
