InfluxDB write points with same timestamp but different measurement - time-series

Question

Requirement:
I want to create an influxDB database to store time-series data from multiple sensors reporting temperatures from different locations.
Problem:
When I write points to the database with same timestamp but different tags (example : location) and field (temperature) value , influx overwrites both tags and fields values with the latest timestamp
I followed the documentation available on their website and they show a sample db with above requirement but am not able find the schema used.
Example Table with duplicate timestamps
Additional Information :
Sample Input :
json_body_1 = [
{
"measurement": "cpu_load_short",
"tags": {
"host": "server02",
"region": "us-west"
},
"time": "2009-11-10T23:00:00Z",
"fields": {
"Float_value": 0.7,
"Int_value": 6,
"String_value": "Text",
"Bool_value": False
}
},
{
"measurement": "cpu_load_short",
"tags": {
"host": "server01",
"region": "us-west"
},
"time": "2009-11-10T23:00:00Z",
"fields": {
"Float_value": 1.0,
"Int_value": 2,
"String_value": "Text",
"Bool_value": False
}
}]
I used the example given in official documentation , still instead of 2 records , I get only one. Please note host tag is different which should ideally make each point unique.

Today I too faced the same issue and now I come to the solution. :)
from influxdb import InfluxDBClient
client = InfluxDBClient(host='host name', port=8086, database='test_db',username='writer', password=Config.INFLUXDB_WRITE_PWD)
points = [{
"measurement": "cpu_load_short",
"tags": {
"host": "server02",
"region": "us-west"
},
"time": "2009-11-10T23:00:00Z",
"fields": {
"Float_value": 0.7,
"Int_value": 6,
"String_value": "Text",
"Bool_value": False
}
},
{
"measurement": "cpu_load_short",
"tags": {
"host": "server01",
"region": "us-west"
},
"time": "2009-11-10T23:00:00Z",
"fields": {
"Float_value": 1.0,
"Int_value": 2,
"String_value": "Text",
"Bool_value": False
}
}]
status = client.write_points(json_body_1, database='test_db', batch_size=10000, protocol='json')
Here is the output
> select * from cpu_load_short;
name: cpu_load_short
time Bool_value Float_value Int_value String_value host region
---- ---------- ----------- --------- ------------ ---- ------
1257894000000000000 false 1 2 Text server01 us-west
1257894000000000000 false 0.7 6 Text server02 us-west
