Can't bulk write using this data. about influxdb-ruby

[Typositoire]

Using InfluxDB 0.9.6 and InfluxDB-ruby 0.2.3

[Typositoire]

actually anytime I try to do write_points with multiple entry to the same series only the last one gets written..

Not optimal but sleeping between each insert works... So it likes influx is only inserting one event / sec max ? If 2 event enter at the same second, one of them get discarded ?!

Hi Yann,

I think the issue you are hitting is that all of the points you are writing share the same timestamp and series, which is causing each successive write to overwrite the previous one. Please note that InfluxDB's use of the word 'series' seems to differ from the Ruby client's use of the word 'series', which should really be referred to as 'measurement'. You can read more on what InfluxDB considers to be a duplicate point here. I also recommend you read through our Scheme Design documentation here.

Is there a reason you are using team and logstash_receiver as values instead of tags? If you set those as tags, then a new series will be created for each unique team and logstash_receiver value, and you will be able to write multiple points per timestamp. Conversely, this will also mean that you will need to use something else as your value.

Thanks,
Ross
