Is it possible to send collected data via http?

[timoweiss]

Hey, i'm wondering if it would be possible to send the collected data to a HTTP-Endpoint?
If I'm not mistaken only "thrift-transport" is supported, right?

Many thanks for the help!

Hello Timo,
You're right, for now, only Thrift transport is supported. Do you have any issues using it? I believe, HTTP support can be easily introduced if needed.

hey, thanks for your answer.
I'm doing some research for a university project. I'm experimenting with collecting metrics from a microservice architecture build with nodejs. One of my professors is setting up a microservice course using scala+akka and he wants to use my "metrics-collecting-service".

Right now, my backend accepts only json data sent via http POST. Maybe I will introduce an API-Endpoint to support thrift.

Or are there any plans to introduce http-transport support? :)
