Hi,
is there a way to have an "unlimited" value as tag (such as the jobId).
Normally, this raises the number of series dramatically which finally leads
to memory issues due to a gigantic index.
However, in some circumstances the time is not as accurate that it is
unique per measurement. In our specific situation we have only a time
accuracy of a second. During the day there are times where we got several
jobs per seconds.
If so, the newer job measurement overwrites the former one.
This issue could be solved by having the jobId as tag. Is there a way to
handle that?
thx
Stefan
