Add Multi Column Values to influxDB

[smileusd]

I use JMX-Agent GraphitePlainTextTcpOutputWriter.java writing values into influxDB, but I find just insert one column, and I see the Graphite demands the Message Format is "metric_path value timestamp\n". So how could I insert multi column into influxDB.

The graphite protocol does not support multi-field data (in InfluxDB terms), 1 metric, 1 series. But the InfluxDB graphite input in version 0.9.1+ does allow for defining a template, you can extract tags (which are "columns", too) from the metric path. So it depends on what you mean with "colums", maybe give an example of what you're trying to achieve.

I'm closing this. The proper solution is to implement native Influx support - #24.
