Hello,

I wanted to collect VM metrics for a 4-node cluster in an easy way (by not deploying collectd on each VM) so I found in the documentation that Proxmox can be configured to send this exact data to a external metric server.

So I configured it, everything works fine, Proxmox successfully sends metrics to the Graphite server, however I don't like the fact each metric for the VMs is sent with the format:

proxmox.qemu.VMID.metric.value

is there a way to change this format to:

proxmox.qemu.VMNAME.metric.value

?

This would be really helpful because I don't want to have a number in Grafana which I don't know which VM (host) it represents.
 
no, not without changing the source code
