# HTTP Input Plugin
This plugin collects metrics from one or more HTTP endpoints providing data in
one of the supported [data formats][data_formats].
⭐ Telegraf v1.6.0
🏷️ applications, server
💻 all
[data_formats]: /docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Secret-store support
This plugin supports secrets from secret-stores for the `username`, `password`,
`token`, `headers`, and `cookie_auth_headers` option.
See the [secret-store documentation][SECRETSTORE] for more details on how
to use them.
[SECRETSTORE]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#secret-store-secrets
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Read formatted metrics from one or more HTTP endpoints
[[inputs.http]]
## One or more URLs from which to read formatted metrics.
urls = [
"http://localhost/metrics",
"http+unix:///run/user/420/podman/podman.sock:/d/v4.0.0/libpod/pods/json"
]
## HTTP method
# method = "GET"
## Optional HTTP headers
# headers = {"X-Special-Header" = "Special-Value"}
## HTTP entity-body to send with POST/PUT requests.
# body = ""
## HTTP Content-Encoding for write request body, can be set to "gzip" to
## compress body or "identity" to apply no encoding.
# content_encoding = "identity"
## Optional Bearer token settings to use for the API calls.
## Use either the token itself or the token file if you need a token.
# token = "eyJhbGc...Qssw5c"
# token_file = "/path/to/file"
## Optional HTTP Basic Auth Credentials
# username = "username"
# password = "pa$$word"
## OAuth2 Client Credentials. The options 'client_id', 'client_secret', and 'token_url' are required to use OAuth2.
# client_id = "clientid"
# client_secret = "secret"
# token_url = "https://indentityprovider/oauth2/v1/token"
# scopes = ["urn:opc:idm:__myscopes__"]
## HTTP Proxy support
# use_system_proxy = false
# http_proxy_url = ""
## Optional TLS Config
## Set to true/false to enforce TLS being enabled/disabled. If not set,
## enable TLS only if any of the other options are specified.
# tls_enable =
## Trusted root certificates for server
# tls_ca = "/path/to/cafile"
## Used for TLS client certificate authentication
# tls_cert = "/path/to/certfile"
## Used for TLS client certificate authentication
# tls_key = "/path/to/keyfile"
## Password for the key file if it is encrypted
# tls_key_pwd = ""
## Send the specified TLS server name via SNI
# tls_server_name = "kubernetes.example.com"
## Minimal TLS version to accept by the client
# tls_min_version = "TLS12"
## List of ciphers to accept, by default all secure ciphers will be accepted
## See https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/tls#pkg-constants for supported values.
## Use "all", "secure" and "insecure" to add all support ciphers, secure
## suites or insecure suites respectively.
# tls_cipher_suites = ["secure"]
## Renegotiation method, "never", "once" or "freely"
# tls_renegotiation_method = "never"
## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
## Optional Cookie authentication
# cookie_auth_url = "https://localhost/authMe"
# cookie_auth_method = "POST"
# cookie_auth_username = "username"
# cookie_auth_password = "pa$$word"
# cookie_auth_headers = { Content-Type = "application/json", X-MY-HEADER = "hello" }
# cookie_auth_body = '{"username": "user", "password": "pa$$word", "authenticate": "me"}'
## cookie_auth_renewal not set or set to "0" will auth once and never renew the cookie
# cookie_auth_renewal = "5m"
## Amount of time allowed to complete the HTTP request
# timeout = "5s"
## List of success status codes
# success_status_codes = [200]
## Data format to consume.
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
## more about them here:
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
# data_format = "influx"
```
HTTP requests over Unix domain sockets can be specified via the "http+unix" or
"https+unix" schemes.
Request URLs should have the following form:
```text
http+unix:///path/to/service.sock:/api/endpoint
```
Note: The path to the Unix domain socket and the request endpoint are separated
by a colon (":").
## Example Output
This example output was taken from [this instructional article][1].

```
## Metrics
The metrics collected by this input plugin will depend on the configured
`data_format` and the payload returned by the HTTP endpoint(s).
The default values below are added if the input format does not specify a value:
- http
- tags:
- url
## Optional Cookie Authentication Settings
The optional Cookie Authentication Settings will retrieve a cookie from the
given authorization endpoint, and use it in subsequent API requests. This is
useful for services that do not provide OAuth or Basic Auth authentication,
e.g. the [Tesla Powerwall API][tesla], which uses a Cookie Auth Body to retrieve
an authorization cookie. The Cookie Auth Renewal interval will renew the
authorization by retrieving a new cookie at the given interval.
