Add Influx Client as Metric Exporter
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently OpenTelemetry does not provide a default InfluxDB Exporter. Since we would like to add an InfluxDB Exporter to the inspectIT Ocelot, we would like to contribute to Open Telemetry and add this exporter to the project.
Describe the solution you'd like The exporter would use the Influx Java Client and would integrate it similar to the OTLP Metric Exporter to ensure a seamless integration into OTLP.
Additional context Could you guys give me short feedback if this would fit for you into the project? I am open to discuss changes/alternatives.
Best Regards Marius
I think this is a great idea, but until there's a official specification for this, it would need to live in the contrib repo, rather than the core repo.
Hey @jkwatson, I just opened the corresponding issue in the contrib repo. Thanks alot!

FYI I have a partially working version of this in a personal project of mine and would love to use a more official one. :)
Hi @jkwatson,
sounds cool! It's always awesome to contribute features others too see a need in :) Are there any learnings or pitfalls you encountered that i should be aware of during development?

Not really. My personal project only uses gauges, so I only implemented what was the absolute minimum to support that. :)
