Parameters

General

• Host: contains target IP address or database server hostname.

• Port: contains database server port (5432 by default).

• Database: contains name of the database.

• Schema: contains name of the schema.

• Table Prefix: contains prefix of the tables.

• Connection Timeout: contains the time interval (in milliseconds) within which the connection to the database should be established. If the connection is not established within the specified time, an error occurs.

• Request Timeout: contains time interval (in milliseconds) within which the response from the database server must be received. If the response is not received during the specified interval, an error occurs.

• Max. Buffer Size: contains maximum size of sample buffer for each time series that is accumulated in the server memory.

• Wait after Write: contains timeout interval (in milliseconds) before the start of next data writing to the store.

• Wait after Error: contains timeout interval (in milliseconds) in case an error occurs during data writing or store preparation.

• Inter-request Interval: contains timeout interval (in milliseconds) before sending the next request. It is used if data doesn’t fit in one request.

Security

• Username: contains username.

• Password: contains password.

• Use SSL: specifies that it is necessary to verify database server SSL certificate.

• SSL Verification: contains verification mode of database server SSL certificate:

  • Accept any.

  • Verify chain of trust by using a store of certificates of the operating system.

  • Verify chain of trust by using custom certificate of certification authority.

• Custom CA File: contains custom certificate of certification authority.

Performance

• Series per Request: contains maximum number of time series that can be written per one request.

• Samples per Request: contains maximum number of samples for each time series that can be written per one request.

• Max. Buffer Size: contains maximum size of sample buffer for each time series that is accumulated in the server memory.

• Wait after Write: contains timeout interval (in milliseconds) before the start of next data writing to the store.

• Wait after Error: contains timeout interval (in milliseconds) in case an error occurs during data writing or store preparation.

• Inter-request Interval: contains timeout interval (in milliseconds) before sending the next request. It is used if data doesn’t fit in one request.

Advanced

• Add Server UID to Tag: specifies that for all store associated time series server UID will be added as su tag value (record metadata).

• Add Store UID to Tag: specifies that for all store associated time series store UID will be added as stu tag value (record metadata).

• Add Time Series UID to Tag: specifies that for all store associated time series time series UID will be added as tsu tag value (record metadata).

• Add Time Series Path to Tag: specifies that for all store associated time series string path to time series will be added as tsp tag value (record metadata).

• Add Time Series Comment to Tag: specifies that for all store associated time series comment to time series will be added as tsc tag value (record metadata).

• Use Server UID in ‘Hash’ Addresses: specifies that unique server identifier should be used to generate Hash addresses.

• Database Auto-creation: if the parameter is set, database will be created automatically.

• Schema Auto-creation: if the parameter is set, schema will be created automatically.

• Table Auto-creation: if the parameter is set, data and metadata tables will be created automatically.

• Index Auto-creation: if the parameter is set, indexes for tables will be created automatically.
