I have a weird situation I’d like some advice with. We use KairosDB which is a time series database. There’s a collectd plugin for it.
The issue is that KairosDB uses tags … not metric name prefixes. I want to collect Java memory values and send them to KairosDB , but I run 2-3 daemons per box. So what I’d like to do is collect a metric, and apply a tag. But it doesn’t seem like there’s a way I can do that in collectd. A couple ideas I had: - refactor all my code to use containers. That will take about a month :-P - maybe run 2-4 collectd instances per host. is there an easy way to do this? - Figure out a way to tag values that are being sent to kairosdb.. maybe I can reformat the metric names into tags in the plugin directly? (thinking out loud). would love some advice.
