I have metricbeat + statsd collecting metrics of the form a.b.c.d. When they show up in kibana, they have been converted to statsd.a_b_c_d.count (counter) or statsd.a_b_c_d.value (gauge). I would like to break the metric label into fields a, b, c, and d, but it's not clear this is possible with the statsd.mappings metricbeat configuration. I've tried a number of variations, none of which has the desired results (in all cases, the metric label is unchanged and no fields are mapped):
statsd.mappings:
# With statsd prefix
- metric: statsd.<a>.<b>.<c>.<d>.count # multi- substitution (original label)
- metric: statsd.<a>_<b>_<c>_<d>.count # multi-substitution
- metric: statsd.a.<rest>.count # single substitution (original label)
- metric: statsd.a_<rest>.count # single substitution
# w/o statsd prefix
- metric: <a>_<b>_<c>_<d>.count
- metric: <a>.<b>.<c>.<d>.count
- metric: a_<rest>.count
- metric: a.<rest>.count
The examples suggest at least one of these options should work.
