Current metric name structure is hard to parse

See original GitHub issue

Current metric name structure is hard to parse for other applications like influxdb(see more explanations here) So I propose the metric name to be in a more uniformed structure, as <prefix><hostname>[suffix]<metric name><measure>[device], for example, servers.localhost.cpu.cpu0.irq => servers.localhost.cpu.irq.cpu0 servers.desolation.loadavg.01 => servers.desolation.loadavg.01 servers.desolation.iostat.sda.reads => servers.desolation.iostat.reads.sda To do this, we need to patch some of the collectors. And I don’t think these changes would break the use cases before.

So many refactors, so little time.

We should just cut a release of python-diamond now, start removing all the collectors, make a new release that supports external collectors, then start working on something that can resolve this. 😦
