Bosun usage of text* in query function

I want filter my hosts in a query. To do that according to the docs I can use text* like :

q("sum:app.call{host=vpcolt*}", "1m", ""))

But in my case, scollector send metrics directly in OpenTSDB. So Bosun doesn't seem to have informations about hosts because * does not incur any additional OpenTSDB API requests.

If I have not wrong, how can I handle this ?

Solution

  • If you are/can use OpenTSDB 2.2, enable it in Bosun's config:

    tsdbVersion = 2.2

    then you can use the new filter syntax:

    q("sum:app.call{host=iwildcard(vpcolt*)}", "1m", ""))

    it should work this way, even if Bosun doesn't receive data.
