-metrics: distributed measurement system
-=======================================
-
-Goals
------
-
-- essential, simple and reliable.
-- minimum maintenance.
-
-Architecture
-------------
-
-- probes: run probes that gather data from the current or any remote node.
-- analyzers: process collected hosts, triggering events (notifications, graphing, etc).
-- syncer: send collected and analyzed data to remote locations.
-
-Worflow
--------
-
-- cronjob: synced dispatch.
-- command line: asynced dispatch.
-
-Plugable
---------
-
-- plugin lookup in shared folders such as `~/.local/share` and `/usr/local/share`.
-- analyzer cronjobs detects collected data and dispatch available analyzers.
-
-Formats
--------
-
-- outputs: yaml, json or any other format understood by each probe/analyzer pair.
-- version field: so analyzers knows by which schema they should process data.
-
-Filesystem
-----------
-
-- unique locations per host/probe/analyzer to ease syncing.
-- folders: {/etc,/var/lib}/metrics/$HOSTNAME/{probes,analyzers,syncers}/{localhost,$HOST}/$NAME/.
-- files: config.yaml (failing back to defaults) and $TIMESTAMP.{json,yaml,rrd,etc}.

-Usage
