[Hawkular-dev] Tag concept in metrics and alerts

[Michael Burman]

Hi,

I don't agree with changing the terms. Many of metrics competing products (such as InfluxDB / OpenTSDB) use the same terminology, so it is easier for customers to understand the differences and similarities between products. Using different terminology was one of the difficulties in RHQ (like noted in the F2F meeting) and I don't think we should repeat the same mistake.

Subject: [Hawkular-dev] Tag concept in metrics and alerts

Hi

Both metrics and alerts use the term 'tag' - however metrics use a name/value pair for a tag, and alerts uses it as a label. Wondering whether we need consistency?

When I hear the term tag, I usually envisage a label - e.g. as in git. So wondering whether it would be clearer for metrics to rename tags to properties?

Possibly metrics needs the concept of a tag/label as well?

Regards
Gary
