With InfluxDB you might be able to do a continuous query, e.g.:
SELECT * FROM /hostname\/cpu-.*/ INTO foo.bar.cpu.[type]

Subject: Re: [collectd] customizing metrics paths for various plugins
I need this also.
We use pingdom and have a large number of externally driven
metrics which we API out to and incoming from our network.
collectd is gathered and the charts are all flat and take up a lot
of space in graphite.
Anyone have any thoughts on InfluxDB and Grafana?
