Will emit metrics like this:
{
"plugin":"ElasticSearch",
"time":1341656031.18621,
"values":[
{
"value":0,
"min":0,
"name":"indices.get.time",
"max":0,
"type":0
}
],
"type":"indices.get.time",
"interval":10,
"host":"t0m.local"
}
or, for multi-value metrics:
{
"plugin":"load",
"time":1341655869.22588,
"type":"load",
"values":[
{
"value":0.41,
"min":0,"max":100,"name":"shortterm","type":1
},
{

}DESCRIPTION
A collectd plugin to emit metrics from collectd into Message::Passing.
PACKAGE VARIABLES
%CONFIG
A hash containing the following:
OutputClass
The name of the class which will act as the Message::Passing output. Will be used as-is if prefixed with +, otherwise Message::Passing::Output:: will be prepended. Required.
OutputOptions
The hash of options for the output class. Not required, but almost certainly needed.
EncoderClass
The name of the class which will act the Message::Passing encoder. Will be used as-is if prefixed with +, otherwise Message::Passing::Filter::Encoder:: will be prepended. Optional, defaults to JSON.
EncoderOptions
The hash of options for the encoder class.
FUNCTIONS
config
Called first with configuration in the config file, munges it into the format expected and places it into the %CONFIG hash.
init
Validates the config, and initializes the $OUTPUT
write
Writes a metric to the output in $OUTPUT.
BUGS
Never enters the AnyEvent event loop, and therefore may only work reliably with (and is only tested with) Message::Passing::Output::ZeroMQ.
