Hi,
If you use TTL -1 in current Hawkular-Metrics, we will write without
setting TTL information. At that point the table TTL will be used (if
such is set).

It could be interesting to have the possibility to deactivate TTL
(for
instance by setting a negative value, without any change in the
existing API for that) but for the time being we could have the
workaround of setting an arbitrary high value, no?
Concerning the time range, at some point I was using "fromEarliest:
true", " order: desc" and "limit:1" ... It seems that it could
also be
used here.

My first thought was a string metric where data points are the
servers that get discovered. There are a couple things though that
I do not like about this. First, all data point queries in
hawkular-metrics have a date range. Having to use a date range
here seems a bit awkward. Secondly all data points in
hawkular-metrics expire. These does not seem like data that we
would want to expire.
