Hello
I am trying to get metrics data into Splunk using collectd and metrics seems to be coming in fine. Want to add more context to the data by adding tags and was wondering how to get them be handled as dimensions
Sending the test data like below
curl -k https://x.x.x.x:8088/services/collector/raw?sourcetype=collectd_http -H "Authorization: Splunk xxxxx" -d '[{"values":[164.9196798931339196],"dstypes":["derive"],"dsnames":["value"],"time":1540317794.894,"interval":10.000,"host":"splunkserver:10.1.1.1.","plugin":"protocols","plugin_instance":"IpExt","type":"protocol_counter","type_instance":"InOctets","fields":{"region":"us-east-1","datacenter":"us-east-1a"}}]'
It seems to be posting in fine, was wondering if I can create a custom sourcetype for collectd and make all fields as dimensions? Any ideas?
