 # OhmGraphite
 
-OhmGraphite takes the hard work of extracting hardware sensors from [Open Hardware Monitor](http://openhardwaremonitor.org/) (technically [LibreHardwareMonitor](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor) for most up to date hardware) and exports the data in a [graphite](https://graphiteapp.org/) (or [InfluxdDB](https://www.influxdata.com/)) compatible format. If you're missing any of the following in [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) or (other time series UI), this tool is for you!

 - Download the [latest zip](https://github.com/nickbabcock/OhmGraphite/releases/latest) and extract to our directory.
 - Update app configuration (located at `OhmGraphite.exe.config`) using either the Graphite config or InfluxDB config

+Starting with 1.1.0, Graphite supports tags (similar to InfluxDB's tags). When enabled in OhmGraphite the data format switches from `<name> <value> <timestamp>` to `<name>;tag1=a;tag2=b <value> <timestamp>`.  Since tags are such a new feature, OhmGraphite has it disabled by default to prevent cumbersome usage with Graphite 0.9 and 1.0 installations.
+
+Examples of types of tags used (same for InfluxDB):
+
+- sensor_type: temperature, load, watts, rpms
+- hardware_type: cpu, gpu, hdd
+- host: my-pc
+- app: ohm
+- hardware: Nvidia GTX 970, Intel i7 6700k
+- raw_name (sensor name): CPU DRAM, CPU graphics
+
+For any serious interest in tags, make sure to use external db like postgres, mysql, or redis, as sqlite won't cut it.

 ### InfluxDB Configuration
 
+Graphite is the default export style, but if you're an InfluxDB user you can change the `type` to `influxdb` and fill out InfluxDB specific options:
