There’s a special layer that your missing. It would be more like this:

{
“timestamp” : 1465577611580
“metrics” : [
        { 
        “name” : “my_int”, 
        “value” : 456, 
        “datatype” : 3, 
        “properties” : {"keys" : ["documentation"], "values": [{"type":12, "string_value":"my documentation"}]},
        }
    ]
}

Within the properties there is an array named keys which is all the property names, then a second array named values which contains a bunch mini-metric-like things with a type and value for each. It’s a lot of overhead if you’re only doing one property, but it’s designed to support large sets of properties. :man_shrugging:
