A fork of https://github.com/bernd/statsd-influxdb-backend with support for influxDB v0.11 and v0.12.
Add tags to your metric by using a similar syntax to the influx line protocol.
For this to work you will need to disable keyNameSanitize in statsd configuration, see https://github.com/etsy/statsd/blob/master/exampleConfig.js#L70.
echo "foo.bar,hello=world,baz=qux:1|c" | nc -u -w1 localhost
This will increment the foo.bar counter and add the hello and baz tags to the metric.
