Question

Telegraf HTTP JSON receiver combines the measurement and field with an underscore

Hipska opened this issue 5 years ago · 6 comments

It seems that when using Telegraf HTTP JSON receiver, the measurement name and field name are combined with an underscore. When configuring Telefgraf to send data as graphite output to carbon-clickhouse, they are combined with a dot. The dot is in my opinion also more logical.

I use the http transport as it seems smaller in size when compared to the graphite transport. (especially when using tags a lot)

I'm trying to maintain naming compatibility with Prometheus. Dot is disallowed in Prometheus

We are talking about graphite, no? Also, in what way is this breaking compatibility with Prometheus?

Could you please make this configurable then?

We are talking about graphite, no?

carbon-clickhouse, graphite-clickhouse can be used as long term storage for Prometheus. Moreover graphite-clickhouse has a built-in Prometheus web interface and can be used in Grafana as data source with prometheus protocol.

Could you please make this configurable then?

I don't mind. PR are welcome

I'm sorry, I don't have much to zero experience with Go. Don't know where to start.

@lomik I tried to implement this with a config option, but got lost on how or where I should pick on. Everything seems to be extracted away so much. Could you give me any pointers please?

I think I found a solution (#83), let me know what you think of it.
