docker container dashboard shows the same container with different container_names #10

The problem is that when a container becomes restarted it gets each a container_name (in fact the suffix of the container is different). FYI an example of the container_name of the influxdb container influxdb_643150_676670

This is a problem for the docker containers grafana dashboard as it is based on the container_name which means that it considers a restarted container or redeployed container as a new container.

One solution would be to assure that the container_name doesn't change during restarts, but I have tried using the container_name field in the docker compose yaml without success.

Fixed by 8bd2f26
So this fix has added a telegraf processor that will substitute every container_name which looks like influxdb_643150_676670 into influxdb
