[Hawkular-dev] agent using custom metric IDs

[Michael Burman]

Hi,

Why? The metricId is an id to a computer. It should not have anything meaningful to the user. Use tags if you want some information to the stored id. Stop pushing "structure" to the metricId, you can't use it for searching them.

Well, that doesn't solve the problem. That would just be replacing one auto-generated ID for another one. The requirement is to allow a user to be able to customize the metric ID to something the user wants. See the JIRA for details: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HWKAGENT-78
