Where do the metric prefix paths get converted in Telegraf

1

Hi,

Recently I’ve been playing around with sending metrics using the ouputs.http plugin and noticed that my metrics prefixes are being replaced.

Example:
prod.topic_sender.machine_metrics.win_mem.Pages.persec

Is converted to:
prod.topic.sender.machine.metrics.win.mem.Pages.persec

I noticed that in the outputs.wavefront plugin there is a convert paths bool option but not in outputs.http.

Where is this conversion taking place or how can I add the convert paths functionality to outputs.http?
Note, I’m using the data_format = wavefront option.

Thanks all!

I guess more specifically,
When I use data_format = wavefront where is the code located that converts the metrics into the wavefront data format?

I was trying to figure it out and it looks like it could be here:
github.com\influxdata\telegraf\plugins\parsers\wavefront
But I don’t see where the code that converts _ to .

Thoughts?
