I have a function which is meant to return a tuple:
def get_metrics(server_status_json, metrics_to_extract, line_number):
<SOME_CODE>
return ((timestamp, "serverstatus", values, tags))
I also have:
def create_point(timestamp, metric_name, values, tags):
return {
"measurement": _MEASUREMENT_PREFIX + metric_name,
"tags": tags,
"time": timestamp,
"fields": values
}
I am calling get_metric in a for loop like so:
for metric_data in get_metrics(server_status_json, mmapv1_metrics,
line_number):
json_points.append(create_point(*metric_data))
I was hoping to use tuple unpacking to pass metric_data straight from
get_metrics through to create_point.
However, in this case, metric_data only contains timestamp.
I suppose I could assign multiple variables like, and pass them through:
for timestamp, metric_name, value, tags in get_metrics(server_status_json,
common_metrics, line_number):
However, that seems unnecessarily verbose, and I'm sure there's a simple way to
do this with tuple unpacking?
