InfluxDB and Grafana Plugin Worldmap Panel

[amotl]

Dear Martin,

we also had our times when learning the behavior of the Worldmap Panel wrt. InfluxDB. Please try to route your fields to the plugin using an "alias".

While depicted as "boom" in the example below, we usually just call it "metric" ;].

Good luck and with kind regards,
Andreas.

While these are coming from a topic related to OpenTSDB (Opentsdb and worldmap panel), it might actually be related and just mean that - while a bit counterintuitive - the ALIAS is the magic button here.

@torkel

you need to use an ALIAS format

@daniellee

Worldmap will automatically map whatever the ALIAS returns to the key field.

@sslupsky

For anyone else that finds this thread and wondering about the relationship between the metric configuration fields and the database fields I can clarify some of the issues we encountered. We inspected the code and determined that for an influx configuration, the “ALIAS BY” field is mandatory.

We will try to have a look if this can be improved as we are currently working on some improvements to the Worldmap Panel anyway.
