Using . in performance data labels has effect on graphite usage

Open widhalmt opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

When using "." in a performancedata label and sending the data to graphite, every . marks another level in the path within carbon/graphite.

At first I thought the output should be changed but I'm not sure if this won't be a feature when sending more and more performance data to graphite.

Should I change the output to keep the graphite tree flat?

PNP as fare as I am aware will have no problems with it and for Graphite it is a nice feature which also helps when creating templates.

+1 for keeping them as long as you think naming (and grouping by doing so) is good

Closed, since it seems we're keeping the dots for now. We could introduce a flag to change the separator in the future
