Hello 🙂

Is it possible to change the measurement name when using http\_listener\_v2?  
I am using multiple listeners. I define a service address and a path for each listener.  
In doing so, the influxdb consists of only one measurement “http\_listener\_v2”.

I would like to set a measurement name for each http listener, e.g., two measurements called “path1” and “path2” (see example below). Is this or something similar possible? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

```auto
[[inputs.http_listener_v2]]
	## Address and port to host HTTP listener on
	service_address = ":5000"

	## Path to listen to.
	path = "/path1"

	## HTTP methods to accept.
	methods = ["POST", "PUT"]
	data_format = "json_v2"
	[[inputs.http_listener_v2.json_v2]]
		[[inputs.http_listener_v2.json_v2.tag]]
			path = "firstId"
		[[inputs.http_listener_v2.json_v2.tag]]
			path = "secondId"
		[[inputs.http_listener_v2.json_v2.field]]
			path = "description"
			type = "string"

[[inputs.http_listener_v2]]
	## Address and port to host HTTP listener on
	service_address = ":5001"

	## Path to listen to.
	path = "/path2"

	## HTTP methods to accept.
	methods = ["POST", "PUT"]
	data_format = "json_v2"
	[[inputs.http_listener_v2.json_v2]]
		[[inputs.http_listener_v2.json_v2.tag]]
			path = "anotherId"
		[[inputs.http_listener_v2.json_v2.field]]
			path = "description"
			type = "string"
		[[inputs.http_listener_v2.json_v2.field]]
			path = "class"
			type = "string"

```
