Integration with VictoriaMetrics

Feature Requests

Hi!
I’m using VictoriaMetrics as Long Term Storage for Prometheus and LibreNMS.

Sadly, some data from LibreNMS is not parsed well by VictoriaMetrics.

Config in Libre:

Error msg from VictoriaMetrics:

HI! I didn’t find more information about vicrotiametrics.

Problem with space in ifAlias field. If you look at the code, there is a replace function /opt/librenms/LibreNMS/Data/Store/InfluxDB.php:

$v = preg_replace (['/ /', '/, /', '/ = /'], ['\', '\,', '\ ='], $ v);

I change this line to:

$v = preg_replace (['/ /', '/, /', '/ = /'], ['_', '_', '\ ='], $ v);

Now all " " and "," will be replaced to "_". In the ifAlias label it’s not a problem for me (i get alias from mariadb in grafana) and you will get something like:

ifAlias = HURT-OPL-Internet_+_VoIP

But now all data will be delivered to VictoriaMetrics!
