Having to list every key/value pair in data_points is a bit odd #16

Is there a way to have this output behave in a similar way to how elasticsearch default output does? By that I mean, key/values produces after filters run are inserted into _source automatically.

I am new to logstash therefore I apologize for any non-sense I may have spoken :)

Hi, try my fork https://github.com/evgygor/logstash-output-influxdb I developed it to avoid key/value listing.

All explained in README.

Thanks

Hi @evgygor can you please confirm that your fork contains feature similar to https://github.com/elastic/logstash-contrib/pull/104 so we can maybe focus discussion on your recent work and PR #13 closing others item as duplicates

evgygor commented 9 years ago

Hi @wiibaa , it does. Additional feature that I added is preserving event's data type without coercing each one.

Full explanation with example https://github.com/evgygor/logstash-output-influxdb/blob/master/README.md

Thanks
