Labeling Extra Tags on Nagios captured metrics using Graphios.

[madhuioe]

Hello Shawn,
The question is related to tagging on Nagios captured metrics using Graphios.

1. First of all, I tried adding additional tags on nagios captured metrics using graphios. I made following changes on extra_tags section of graphios.cfg:
   For Example: influxdb_extra_tags= {"LOCATION": "NA"}
   influxdb_extra_tags= {"OSTYPE": "LINUX"}
   However, I was unable to add more than two tags using this configuration of graphios.
2. Second, Even I added the above two tags, I was unable to bind those tags to to particular hosts. There are number of tags that should attach with respective hosts.
3. I also edited host_perfdata_file_template on nagios.cfg and appended following lines \tREGION::$_REGION$\tBUSINESSCLASS::$_BUSINESSCLASS$\tHOSTTYPE::$_HOSTTYPE$ to achieve appropriate tags. Accordingly, I assigned the values to above listed tag variables i.e. _BUSINESSCLASS = "Gold" on particular host's templates using Nagios GUI.

How can I put tags effectively and bind those tags with particular hosts and accordingly I can query effectively through grafana to Influxdb backend?
