Description

InfluxDb is a great tool for storing metrics. The main advantage over graphite protocol is its tag mechanism that allows host info to be excluded from metric name.

I managed to send metrics into InfluxDb by putting metrics-influxdb-1.1.7.jar into lib folder and replacing these dependencies jar:

commons-codec-1.2.jar -> commons-codec-1.9.jar
reporter-config3-3.0.0.jar -> reporter-config3-3.0.3.jar
reporter-config-base-3.0.0.jar -> reporter-config-base-3.0.3.jar

Although it seems that dropwizard team is working on official package for InfluxDb, it would be great it those libs are available in default distribution by upgrading commons-codec and metrics dependencies. I was wondering what effect are there to Cassandra functionality. Where can I help?

Attached file is my configuration example.
