Support many fields under one measurement?

[mnp]

This reporter seems oriented around many measurements, each on its own line in the protocol, with a small number of related fields under each, even if the tags and timestamps are the same.

com.foo.widget host=bleh  count=2, m15_rate=0.19, m1_rate=0.17, m5_rate=0.19 1503403333000000000
com.foo.thingie host=bleh  count=7, m15_rate=0.22, m1_rate=0.11 m5_rate=0.11 1503403333000000000

Our style involves one high level measurement (one per app) and then a few dozen fields under each measurement. We'd like to group measurements with the same tags and time into one measurement in the line protocol.

foo host=bleh widget.count=2 widget.m15_rate=0.19, widget.m1_rate=0.17, widget.m5_rate=0.19,thingie.count=7, thingie.m15_rate=0.22, thingie.m1_rate=0.11,thingie.m5_rate=0.11  1503403333000000000

I'm working on a field grouper which I'll contribute, but first wonder if I'm missing something.

I think you're understanding is correct -- fields and timestamps are generally the same. We group on type of measurement though, e.g. any restful resource method is grouped in the measurement resources but the metricName tag will differ for each line.
