Metricsd Writer

Metricsd is a metrics aggregator for Graphite that supports gauges, counters, histograms and meters. Here is an example .json file that outputs HeapMemoryUsage and NonHeapMemoryUsage directly to graphite:

   {
                    "servers": [{
                        "host": "a01",
                        "alias": "a01",
                        "port": "1003",					
                        "queries": [{
                            "outputWriters": [{
                                "@class": "com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.output.MetricsdWriter",
                                "settings": {
                                    "host": "x02",
                                    "port": "1234",
				    "rootPrefix": "jvm"
                                }
                            }],
                		"obj" : "java.lang:type=Memory",
      "attr" : [ "HeapMemoryUsage", "NonHeapMemoryUsage" ],
                		"resultAlias": "heapUsage",
                                "metricsType": "gauge"
                       }]
                }
