tag-based metrics space in graphite #42

Closed Dieterbe closed 11 years ago

Dieterbe commented 11 years ago

identify metrics by something like {'what': 'bytes', 'service': 'mysql', 'server':'host1', 'type': 'sent'} instead of host1.mysql.bytes.sent. this has a bunch of advantages, and backwards compatibility is fairly trivial. more info @ https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/223956

I get the idea and understand that explicit semantics are better. But could you add some information - unfortunately I don't find more details in the link that you provided.

Dieterbe commented 11 years ago

the word 'tag' appears 68 times on that page.... also you can find some more info on http://dieter.plaetinck.be/a_few_common_graphite_problems_and_how_they_are_already_solved.html

Cheers, I just read the text and missed your comments. Makes perfect sense!
