InfluxDB error: max-values-per-tag limit exceeded

[tiltec]

After long-term use, this error appears on almost every request:

400: {"error":"partial write: max-values-per-tag limit exceeded (100000/100000): measurement=\"django_request\" tag=\"full_path\" value=\"/api/pickup-dates/20369/\" dropped=1"}

The full_path tag can vary much if there's IDs in the URL. While it would be possible to increase the limit via configuration parameter, it might be better to change something about the storage pattern. It appears that having many different tag values is not recommended.

I made a quick fix by removing the full_path and path tags from written data.
A better way would be to write the URL pattern as tag and the actual path as field.

Whoa, I haven't been using this library in quite a while. Would you fix be backwards compatible? Do you want to submit a pull request?

Yeah, there's not much activity here. I wonder if people still use it? Most medium-sized deployments should hit the max-values-per-tag limit after some months.

As said, I simpliy removed the full_path and path tags in my fork. I could contribute that as pull request, but maybe somebody still wants to have the data?
