Thanks for this kick reply ! The example is really simple :
In my current setup I have to play a large test plan divided in several steps substeps etc... The graphite backend-listener is writing samplers data series this way : rootprefix.samplername.metric My idea was to take avantage of the graphite series format by changing rootprefix or samplername to write something like: jmeter.user.step.substep.action.metric At the other end influxdb can easily extract tags from the series and actually record an entry for metric mesurement tagged with the action, step, substep and user : real simplification for subsequent queries from our graphing software (grafana at the moment). The catch is graphite format use dots to separate fields and influxdb templates are using those fields to parse tags. So I tried to change sampler names to match my intended graphite format and ran into the sanitizing of the sampler names that replace my precious dots with ugly underscores ! I've tried a couple of workarounds : - Using a variable rootprefix that I change on each step : but the rootprefix is evaluated once just like UDV. - Using a backend-listener per step : only the first is user. I'm currently stuck with almost raw data in influxdb that are much more difficult to exploit. That's why I think dots should be usable in sampler names, at least when using the graphite backend-listener. Thanks for your help !
