Getting JSON data to influxDB

[kisienya]

Hi Chris, thanks,

This is very good work.

Just wondering how you managed to get JSON data to influxDB because the current version of InfluxDB doesn’t support the JSON . The predominant reason it was deprecated was that decoding JSON was the largest performance bottleneck in the system.

See influxdata/influxdb#2696 (comment)

Please read my blog post here about it. I use Logstash to inject JSON data into Influx. Might not be the most performant, but it works for my use case perfectly.
