Babak Behzad commented on HADOOP-10727:
---------------------------------------
Thanks [~cwimmer]. I like your idea of making it configurable. We can put it as
a new option in "hadoop-metrics2.properties" file along with other options such
as server_host, server_port and metrics_prefix. Following the naming convention
of Graphite we can have the following line to replace all the "." to ":":
*.sink.graphite.escape_character=:
Default is _ (Underscore).
> GraphiteSink metric names should not contain "."

> Sometimes the names of the metrics sent to Graphite contain "." in them (such
> as hostnames). Graphite interpret these dots as a separator for directories
> causing long directory hierarchies. It would be easier to replace them to "_"
> in order to have easier to read metric names.
