[collectd] write_http plugin - dynamic tag

[Marc Fournier]

Not sure if this answers your question, but starting with 5.6, the
following config should allow you to add arbitry key-values to outgoing
metrics:

<Plugin write_http>
  <Node "example">
    URL "http://localhost:4567/collectd-post"
    Format "json"
  </Node>
</Plugin>

PostCacheChain "PostCache"
<Chain "PostCache">
  <Rule "test">
    <Match "regex">
      Plugin "^cpu$"
    </Match>
    <Target "set">
      MetaData "foo" "bar"
    </Target>
  </Rule>
  Target "write"
</Chain>

Running with the config above, values such as this get POSTed by
collectd's write_http plugin:

{"values":[136247],"dstypes":["derive"],"dsnames":["value"],"time":1478019107.077,"interval":1.000,"host":"localhost","plugin":"cpu","plugin_instance":"2","type":"cpu","type_instance":"idle","meta":{"foo":"bar"}},

HTH,
Marc
