Description

Including:

  • IP Address in octet format (currently, the host name is something obscure like "ip-10-123-123-123" which is not nice to work with
  • EC2 Instance ID

Retrieve it from the instance metadata.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to retrieve EC2 metadata (public IP, instance ID) in Terraform using data sources or provisioners, and how to pass them as tags to Telegraf configuration.
