Support InfluxDB >= 0.11 with tags

Open mchesler opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Per https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v0.13/concepts/schema_and_data_layout/, it's better for InfluxDB to differentiate data with tags than with detailed measurement names. Tags are indexed and InfluxDB does not allow merging data across measurements, so parsing and tagging as built in this PR provides the best balance of flexibility and performance with InfuxDB. This change splits metrics like appname.datacenter.hostname.requests:1|c into:

name: appname
tag1: datacenter
tag2: hostname
tag3: requests

This has been tested against InfluxDB v0.13 in a high-volume production environment.
