add option to allow duplicate PerformanceCounters instance names #63

Closed Confusingboat closed 8 years ago

Confusingboat commented 8 years ago

By default, Influx-Capacitor will append "#n" (where n is an incrementing integer) to the end of a PerformanceCounter instance name if it detects that there is another with the same name. To disable this functionality, you simply add AllowDuplicateInstanceNames="true" to a CounterGroup in the XML configuration.

Nice feature!

Thanks! I use it in conjunction with the Filter/Replacement feature as a quick-and-dirty way of aggregating all vCPU instances per Hyper-V virtual machine.
