openresty/statsd.lua  
statsd.time(“name,transNo=” … uuid,ngx.now)  
statsd.flush(udp,127.0.0.1,8126)  
telegrafa.conf  
[outputs.file]  
metrics.out  
[outputs.influxdb]  
127.0.0.1:8086

because transNo is no repetition  
so when writing to [127.0.0.1:8086]  
“error”:"partial write: max-values-per-tag limit exceeded (100009/100000):tag=transNo,value=“xxxx”

transNo unwanted insert influxdb,but i want transNo outputs.file metrics.out

how to do

Hello @smallbirdwy,  
Welcome!  
You can search for

```auto
# max-values-per-tag = 100000

```

And change to

```auto
# max-values-per-tag = 0

```

In the agent portion config.

Hello @smallbirdwy,  
That’s what my googling tells me works. I’m not sure from personal experience because I haven’t run into that error, but maybe give it a try and let me know how it works? Thank you!
