Plugins

OpenTSDB 2.0 introduced a plugin framework, allowing varous contributors to quickly and easily customize their TSDs. This document gives you an overview of the plugin system and will link to some available implementations.

General

Plugins are loaded at run time by a TSD or command line utility. Once the program or daemon is running, plugin configurations cannot be changed. You must restart the program for changes to take effect.

Plugins are JAR files that must be downloaded to a directory accessible by OpenTSDB. Once a directory is created, it must be specified in the opentsdb.conf config file via the tsd.core.plugin_path property. If the plugin has dependency JARs that were not compiled into the plugin and are not located in the standard class path, they must be copied to this plugin directory as well.<
