Hello, i am trying to ingest graphite metrics from my FreeNAS Server into elasticsearch-7.7 through a logstash-7.7 pipeline.
my configurations are:
```auto
input {
tcp {
port => 2003
type => graphite
codec => graphite { metrics_format => "servers.%{host}.*" }
}
}
output {
if "syslog" in [type] {
[.. snip ..]
} else if "graphite" in [type] {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
manage_template => false
index => "graphite-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
} else {
[.. snip ..]
}
}
```
Though the actual document that i am receiving is formatted like
```auto
_source": {
"servers.Yggdrasil.rrdcached.gauge-tree_depth": 11,
[... snip ...]
"host": "Yggdrasil.securitybits.local",
"type": "graphite"
}
```
But with the settings for the input codec i expected logstash to actually split the "servers.yggdrasil.rrdcached" But it does not seem to adhere to the proper codec settings. I am currently moving away from influxdb and grafana in order to have all my logs and metrics in the same place.
Would an alternative to this setup be to actually install metricbeat to freenas, i have not seen any mentions of it anywhere though.
