Figured it out. Instance name has a “:” in it. We’ll have to replace that with a legal character before submitting the datapoints to kairosdb. Probably a “-” or “_” will work well. If you guys would like to implement that … it would be great. If I have a chance I’ll read through the code and submit a patch.
