MySensors naming scheme

[findnix]

Hello @jkandasa!

First of all I would like to thank you for your great work.
I use v1 since the beginning. Now it's time to move to v2. I welcome this because I have been using influx with telegtaf for a long time.
My request now: is it possible in influxdb (1.8) to get a naming scheme that matches the "external server" functionality of v1?
I have been using this form for a long time:
host=myController,gategatewayName=$gatewayName,nodeName=$nodeName,nodeEui=$nodeEui,sensorName=$sensorName,sensorId=$sensorId,variableType=$variableType,variableTypeId=$variableTypeId

Thank you and greetings from Austria

hi @findnix thanks for being a member of MyController since the beginning.
The sad news is that, I ​restructured the v2 version completely. There is no exact mapping between these versions
​:(

You have to rewrite your influx query.

sample data from v2.

In the future we may add additional plugin to publish metrics data to the external database.
let me know if you need a help further on this.

Hi @jkandasa !
Thank You for Your fast respond.

I always appreciated Your mapping from the IDs to the long names. Unfortunately this feature is gone. This "forces" me to realize an old idea to write a little wrapper for this. Either catching and rewriting the MQTT topics or simple inject "translated" events into influx. I've to think about now a bit more detailed ;-)

I would be a pleasure to share the code with you on success.

@findnix In v2 some changes on the name/id to make it more generic.
as a result we have, gatewayid, nodeid, sourceid, fieldid, these are all real values from your sensor network.

I do rethink possibility for this in v2. and update if I get an great idea.
meantime you may post one of your existing query, I may get someidea.
Thanks!
