Hi,
I have an interest in pushing points that are received with a specific target measurement, to other measurements in parallel. I’m not really seeing a way to do it in Telegraf, other than maybe by using multiple database outputs using a routing tag and a name override on each output, but that seems a bit overkill as the output database will always be the same. Any other idea on how to do it in Telegraf?
Regards.
Hey Daniel, lets say Telegraf receives one point for measurement m1. I want to take that point and “clone” it twice while setting the measurement to m2 and m3 respectively. In the end I’d output 3 points to the database.
I can’t think of any way this could be done. As you were thinking, the only way to duplicate a metric is via multiple output plugins but the name_override and tags options are not available for outputs so you wouldn’t be able to modify the duplicates. Would be a great fit for an exec processor though, I’m hoping we can find the time to do this for 1.13.
