nanosecond timestamps?

[lestercheung]

Shinken/influxdb/grafana newbie here.

I'm trying to get the combo to work but noticed that data ingested into influxdb have timestamps in seconds instead of nanoseconds and it's probably the reason I couldn't get grafana to plot anything useful for the metric_* series.

Running:

• influxdb-0.10.3-1.x86_64
• grafana-2.6.0-1.x86_64
• Shinken 2.4.3
• mod-influxdb installed via shinken CLI.

Hi! I am actually trying the exact same thing.

I think if we can modify the module.py properly we can append the precision in seconds, so that InfluxDB recognizes the timestamp properly.

I modified the module.py file with adjustments to the timestamps that allowed my data to populate properly within InfluxDB.

#35

Here's the data before and after the adjustments:
