This plugin writes to the Instrumental Collector API and requires a Project-specific API token.
Instrumental accepts stats in a format very close to Graphite, with the only difference being that
the type of stat (gauge, increment) is the first token, separated from the metric itself
by whitespace. The increment
type is only used if the metric comes in as a counter through [[input.statsd]]
.
[[outputs.instrumental]]
