# Returns a Hash in a format that can be directly written to InfluxDB.
def to_hash
# InfluxDB overwrites an existing point if a new point has the same
# series, tag set, and timestamp. In a highly concurrent environment
# this means that using the number of seconds since the Unix epoch is
# inevitably going to collide with another timestamp. For example, two
# Rails requests processed by different processes may end up generating
# metrics using the _exact_ same timestamp (in seconds).
#
# Due to the way InfluxDB is set up there's no solution to this problem,
# all we can do is lower the amount of collisions. We do this by using
# System.real_time which returns the nanoseconds as a Float providing
# greater accuracy. We then add a small random value that is large
# enough to distinguish most timestamps but small enough to not alter
# the timestamp significantly.
#
# See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/175 for more
# information.
