Hello,
in my system, clients send multiple metrics (cpu, memory, etc.). Each client has some meta-information associated (e.g. account, platform, browser, network conditions, application used) and, after looking at the documentation, I was thinking to store it as tags.
Is that a good idea? How many tags am I allowed to have / what are the best practices? I’m scared that I may end up with 20/30 tags causing an excessive overhead in the storage space.
On the other side, the alternative would be to use a client id and store the association id->meta-data
in a separate database, but that would complicate the queries since I would have to retrieve the ids
in advance.
I looked at the schema design suggestions in the docs but I’m not very practical with time-series databases and I want to make the right choice. Thanks!
