Label parsing in Elasticsearch

[sebastienmusso]

Hello,

I'm currently using Dockbeat to push docker container stats directly to elasticsearch in order to print some smooth dashboard in our paas and it's working quite well.

I only have an issue when I try to parse data from containerLabels in elasticsearch.
I cannot parse dynamic struc like this in my ES/Timelion query :
{
"key": "application-type",
"value": "tomcat"
}

In order to filer easily I had to modify dockbeat code :
event/generator.go (line 362) :
output_labels[i] = common.MapStr{
label: v,
"key": label,
"value": v,
}

to have :

{

"application-type": "tomcat",

"key": "application-type",
"value": "tomcat"
}

And I filter directly the label because I know the key, is there a way to do the same think without changing the source code and rebuilding ...

Nice Jobs for this beats plugin.

regards.
