GitHub Input Plugin

Gather repository information from GitHub hosted repositories.

Note: Telegraf also contains the webhook input which can be used as an alternative method for collecting repository information.

Configuration

[[inputs.github]]
  ## List of repositories to monitor
  repositories = [
	  "influxdata/telegraf",
	  "influxdata/influxdb"
  ]

  ## Github API access token.  Unauthenticated requests are limited to 60 per hour.
  # access_token = ""

  ## Github API enterprise url. Github Enterprise accounts must specify their base url.
  # enterprise_base_url = ""

  ## Timeout for HTTP requests.
  # http_timeout = "5s"

  ## List of additional fields to query.
	## NOTE: Getting those fields might involve issuing additional API-calls, so please
	##       make sure you do not exceed the rate-limit of GitHub.
	##
	## Available fields are:
	## 	- pull-requests			-- number of open and closed pull requests (2 API-calls per repository)
  # additional_fields = []
