Trees
Along with metadata, OpenTSDB 2.0 introduces the concept of trees, a hierarchical method of organizing timeseries into an easily navigable structure that can be browsed similar to a file system on a computer. Users can define a number of trees with various rule sets that organize TSMeta objects into a tree structure. Then users can browse the resulting tree via an HTTP API endpoint. See /api/tree for details.
Tree Terminology
- Branch - Each branch is one node of a tree. It contains a list of child branches and leaves as well as a list of parent branches.
- Leaf - The end of a branch and represents a unique timeseries. The leaf will contain a TSUID value that can be used to generate a TSD query. A branch can, and likely will, have multiple leaves
- Root
