Aha, fair enough - so if you only sometimes query the values together, you should separate them out into discrete series =). For a logline, the sort of metrics we'd get would be things like query duration, database, client ID etc. You've often query them together, but you'd also query them separately, so I guess that also makes sense as multiple separate series. Interesting, that line protocol looks cool and seems like it'd be more efficient on the wire. Will the drivers (e.g. Python, Go) be updated to take advantage of this new endpoint? Finally, I see there's also a ticket open for binary protocols: https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/issues/139 https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/issues/139 Do you see that as being still potentially useful?
