Hello,
Isn't this a InfluxDB feature (or issue) ?
I have already used collectd->collectd : no problem. And
Collectd->influxdb (using the write_tsdb plugin patched with pull
request #1107) and I have seen the same latency as you.
Not sure that this is a network plugin issue.
You may try to dump the network traffic (tcpdump, wireshark) and check
if this is a collectd or a InfluxDB issue.
You may also try to send the metrics to both InfluxDB and another
Collectd (with network plugin as the input plugin and something like csv
output plugin) and see if the csv output is as slow as InfluxDB.
Regards,
Yves

Hi Marc,
We are collecting data every 10 seconds, and its being sent every 2-3
minutes (that must be how long it takes to fill the buffer).
We are not losing metrics as in influx we can see the correct timestamp
of
each event with a 10 second gap between them. We only wanted to report
the
metrics faster, so per your answer the way would be to decrease the
buffer
so the metrcis are sent every more often.
I'm going to update the github issue with this info.
Thanks for your help!
Now everything is clear.
Best regards,
Joel.

You can't control how frequently collected data is flushed to the
write
target(s). Only how frequently read targets are probed.
In the case of the network plugin, the data gets flushed once its
buffer
is full, which size defaults to 1.5kB. Are you collecting very little
data with a relatively high read interval ? If not you might want to
fire tcpdump to check you aren't loosing packets (remember the
protocol
is UDP-based).
Note that the values dispatched include the collection time timestamp.
So even if there is some delay before they reach their final
destination, they should be stored with the correct time reference.
Cheers,
Marc
