Hi Daniel,
The following sample metric in Influx Line protocol:
"sample,host=ubuntu01,role=webserver cpu=95"
Will be sent out from the Datadog output in the following format:
{"series":[{"metric":"sample.cpu","points":[[1.472484617e+09,95]],"host":"ubuntu01","tags":["host:ubuntu01","role:webserver"]}]}
Doesn't this format cover what you are looking for?
