InfluxDB
The “line protocol” for data points in a InfluxDB series looks like this:
<measurement>,<tag_0>[,<tag_n>] <field=value>[,<field_n=value_n>] [timestamp]
an example:
os_metrics,host=i-823456ac,role=mongodb,type=m3-large cpu-load-1=1.2,cpu-load-5=0.8,cpu-load-5=0.6 1490520338000000
os_metrics,host=i-823456ac,role=mongodb,type=m3-large deb-packages-installed=327i 1490520338000000
Everything’s a string, except
timestamp, which is nanoseconds since unix epochfieldvalues, which can be int, float, boolean, or strings.
The measurement is close to a SQL database table: you can easily work on the fields and tags in the same measurement/table, but if you need data from some other measurement you’ll need to join them together.
For quering the data, all tags are indexed, whereas fields are not.
