Description
Kapacitor version: 1.3
Influxdb version: 1.3
Both on dockers running Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)
I'm running this tick, which suppose to add a specific tag to when certain fields exist:
```
stream
|from()
.measurement('cloudwatch_aws_ecs')
|where(lambda: "cluster_name" == 'awseb-my-env-cloud-id')
|eval(lambda: string('qa-ServiceAccess')).as('app_name').tags('app_name')
// Write the transformed data to InfluxDB
|influxDBOut()
.database('telegraf')
.retentionPolicy('autogen')
.measurement('cloudwatch_aws_ecs')
```
Upon writing to influxdb, I'm getting this error message:
`[cap_naming:influxdb_out4] 2017/07/18 13:00:06 E! failed to write points to InfluxDB: unable to parse 'cloudwatch_aws_ecs,app_name_1=qa-CreditServiceAccess,cluster_name=awseb-my-env-cloud-id,host=123ef333f1df,region=eu-west-1,renamed=true,unit=percent 1500382140000000000': invalid field format
`
This only happens when adding tags with eval().*.as().tags()
When adding static tags only, i.e:
```
|influxDBOut()
.database('telegraf')
.retentionPolicy('autogen')
.measurement('cloudwatch_aws_ecs')
.tag('renamed', 'true')
```
Everything works
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the provided Kapacitor script and compare eval().as().tags() with the working static .tag() case at influxDBOut. Trace the resulting point into InfluxDB and verify that the corrected behavior writes without an invalid field format error.
