Allow dynamic tag names/values #46

Closed reinhard-brandstaedter closed 1 year ago

reinhard-brandstaedter commented 8 years ago

Adds the ability to specify dynamic tags in message.tags that will get the value of the according (same name) field instead of plainly setting to true.

Example: logstash message: tags ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3" ] fields { "tag1" => "abc" "tag2" =>"def" "tag3" => "ghi" }

will add 3 tag keys in logstash with tag values abc, def, ghi without the requirement to configure any "send_as_tags" in logstash output configuration. This is especially useful if tag names are not known before.

We desperately need this. I've been banging my face on the desk for the past 3 days trying to get metrics into InfluxDB from LogStash with dynamic tags/fields since you cannot pass an array variable into the output argument. This is the last piece I need.

Jason, you might checkout the plugin from my GitHub branch of the plugin. It works for me with dynamic tags as I described the feature above. It's a rather small code change but really helpful. Reinhard

Looking around seems like a lot of users are running into the same issue like @hanej. It has been now almost a year later, any resolution on this? The code change seems as @reinhard-brandstaedter says rather small, why is it not being merged yet?
