Fixes #7447
The total length of tag key + tag value isn't allowed to exceed 254 characters when sending metrics to Wavefront. By default, these metrics are discarded by wavefront. The new
truncate_tags
flag in the configuration file causes the Wavefront output to truncate the tag value so that the length of the key + value never exceeds 254. If the tag key is longer than 254 characters, the metric point is dropped and a warning is logged.The
truncate_tags
flag is turned off by default to ensure backwards compatibility.
