Stackdriver does not support string values in custom metrics, any string
|
||||
fields will not be written.
|
||||
|
||||
The Stackdriver API does not allow writing points which are out of order,
|
||||
older than 24 hours, or more with resolution greater than than one per point
|
||||
minute. Since Telegraf writes the newest points first and moves backwards
|
||||
through the metric buffer, it may not be possible to write historical data
|
||||
after an interruption.
|
||||
|
||||
Points collected with greater than 1 minute precision may need to be
|
||||
aggregated before then can be written. Consider using the [basicstats][]
|
||||
aggregator to do this.
