Influxdb does support graphite protocol, so you can safely send metrics to it using existing jmxtrans output writer:

However the graphite connector is unsecured...would be nice to write using the influx protocol so you can add auth/auth to it.

Agreed, we should aim for native Influx support. Using the Graphite connector puts a lot of responsibility in configuring the metric tags and fields on on the connector configuration, something that I think should belong in jmxtrans-agent instead.
