InfluxDB CEO here. The data model for 0.9.0 should map up nicely with what you're trying to do. It supports measurement names, and tags. It would be great to work together to have InfluxDB as another option (other than OpenTSDB) for long term storage of metrics data.
Hey Paul, it'd be great to work together! Although long-term storage isn't a SoundCloud priority right now (meaning it's going to be more of a free-time project with less time allocated), it's definitely important for many others and it would be great to have. I think we should start with Prometheus->InfluxDB write support first, and then approach the more complicated problem of reading back from InfluxDB through Prometheus. What's the best place to get informed about the new 0.9.0 data model?
