Depending how many attributes you are dealing with, a possible work around
could be to construct the JSON with a ReplaceText text processor.
If you have ReplaceText after your UpdateAttribute, you could set the
Replacement Value to a String like:
{ "rt_firstbyte" : ${http.param.t_resp}, "rt_lastbyte" :
${http.param.t_page}, "rt_loadtime" : ${http.param.t_done} }
In the long-term, maybe AttributesToJson could follow a convention where it
looks for optional attributes that have the same name as another attribute,
but end with have ".type" ?
So in your example there would be:
rt_firstbyte ${http.param.t_resp}
rt_firstbyte.type int
If it doesn't find a type attribute then it defaults to String as it does
today.
Just an idea of how we can provide type information, I'm sure there are
other options too.
