Hi,

I have recently read about InfluxDB and it looks like a nice tool to
store metrics and other time-series data. The documentation at
http://influxdb.com/docs/v0.8/api/reading_and_writing_data.html
suggests two options that could work:
* Writing data through HTTP
 This should be possible using the om_http module in nxlog
* Writing data through JSON + UDP
 Use om_udp. I think this can provide much better throughput if you can
 tolerate a possible data loss.

In both cases the data needs to be converted to JSON using to_json().
Your success will likely also depend on whether the generated JSON is in
the proper format that InfluxDB expects.

Please let us know if you could make it work.

Regards,
Botond
