Yes, these tradeoffs are actually a question. Anyway, we shouldn’t send raw events to influxdb directly. Using telegraph we can send them through loopback interface using UDP. This way bandwidth isn’t very important. And then it is up to telegraph to aggregate and resend metrics to influxdb server.
Even with this case collecting metrics with something like ets:update_counter inside reporter should be more efficient.
So we have two variants with their pros and cons.
