Is InfluxDbOutputWriter still considered experimental? #159

Closed aakarshg closed 2 years ago

aakarshg commented 2 years ago

Hello, We are evaluating using the InfluxDbOutputWriter for our usecase. This seems to have been added around ~6 years ago https://github.com/jmxtrans/jmxtrans-agent/commit/04e48878ed43b4dde47ffa571464265d4253bdf6, and I dont see any open issues nor closed issues that mentioned problems with the writer. Is it safe to use this writer in production?

Tagging @cyrille-leclerc as you seemed to be the most active contributor previously :)

Hello @aakarshg , thanks for looking at the jmxtrans-agent. I have never used InfluxDB and thus never used the InfluxDbOutputWriter but the code of the InfluxDbOutputWriter looked very good and nobody reported problems so I would be confident.

Another scenario could be to instrument your application with OpenTelemetry (traces, metrics, and logs) and to export the metrics to InfluxDB using the OpenTelemetry Collector exporter for InfluxDB.

Thanks for the quick reply @cyrille-leclerc :) We require a java agent implementation for our use case so jmxtrans-agent fits the bill perfectly, only concern was around the experimental tag on the InfluxDbOutputWriter.

Closing this issue, since the question has been answered.
