InfluxDB insert multiples values at once using curl

If you have to insert multiples values in an influxdb database. You can use curl and insert the values one at the time.

But there is a better way like in this example

Let’s say you want to insert your tree loadaverage values in you influxdb database.

First put them into variables using these 3 lines.

onemin=$(cat /proc/loadavg |awk -F' ' '{print $1}')
fivemin=$(cat /proc/loadavg |awk -F' ' '{print $2}')
fifteenmin=$(cat /proc/loadavg |awk -F' ' '{print $3}')

Then using this curl line, insert them all at once in your influxdb database

curl -i -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=database' --data-binary "loadavg 1min=$onemin,5min=$fivemin,15min=$fifteenmin"
