Hello all:

I am trying to insert data from RabbitMQ to OpenTSDB. I can not see why is not inserting the data:  
Metric opc\_ignition.test has been created manually , but I have also set the option to create automatically.  
Data sent to Rabbit is JSON formatted.  
Also I have tested to insert the data manually using telnet with success  
put opc\_ignition.test 1356998400 42.5 sensor=ns\_1\_s\_\_Demo\_\_Meta\_Refrigeration\_Compressor1\_pressureSuction

Appreciate your comments and help

Thanks

**Data coming from RabbitMQ:**  
{"metric":"opc\_ignition.test","timestamp":1356998400,"OPCValue":42.5,"tags":"sensor=ns\_1\_s\_\_Demo\_\_Meta\_Refrigeration\_Compressor1\_pressureSuction"}

**Logstash Config file:**

input {  
rabbitmq {  
exclusive =\> false  
host =\> 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'  
password =\> 'guest'  
user =\> 'guest'  
vhost =\> '/'  
auto\_delete =\> false  
durable =\> true  
exchange =\> "opc\_ignition"  
queue =\> "opc\_data"  
threads =\> 8}  
}

output {  
opentsdb {  
debug =\> true  
#host =\> 'localhost'  
metrics =\> [  
"{metric}",  
"{timestamp}",  
"{OPCvalue}",  
"{tags}",  
"{@version}",  
"{@timestamp}"

```
    ]
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }

```

}

**Debug logger:**
