InfluxDB interprets the vmname 66601 as a number and the vmname vm42 as a String.
This leads to problematic metrics, that will be dropped by influxdb.
Whichever comes first decides how the "schema" is defined.

To change that I added a $quoted hashmap to quote a value.
In this case the value of name.

nodename and host are tags in InfluxDB so the only value they are able
to contain are strings:
