Problem
InfluxDB consumer currently just inserts a large JSON string into the database - this structure is a non-queryable, and therefore not useful.
Approach
Instead, parse the JSON message into tags/fields that Influx understands. Tags are indexed, and therefore more performant when used as a search query. At least one field is required - these are meant contain all other measurement data.
