If you have multiple tags, do you canonicalize the ordering of the metric name? If so, where does that canonicalization happen (on the metric origination side or on the server/collection side)? It would seem to be a pain if you end up with metrics named

    host.queries.type=GET.result=200.tput 
and

    host.queries.result=200.type=GET.tput



Good question. We do have a specific ordering, and that happens when the metrics are generated. Again, we don't really treat them as tags for a specific metric, but rather unique metrics. Having a different name means it's a different metric.
