Re: [Question #191343]: Using "dot" in tree/metric name

 

Question #191343 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/191343

    Status: Open => Answered

cbrinley proposed the following answer:
As a potential work around typically what i have seen is people convert the
dot "." to and underscore "_" or similar before sending the data. Common
case would be FQDN. foo.bar.baz -> foo_bar_baz.  Its not optimal in some
cases but at least you get that data in the system in a consistent manner.

As far as getting this in as a feature request I'd suggest opening a bug.
I don't think there is a specific avenue to request features separate from
bugs.

And finally the obligatory, patches are always welcome. :)
