Status: beta

This output allows you to pull metrics from your logs and ship them to ganglia's gmond. This is heavily based on the graphite output.

    lifetime => ... # number (optional), default: 300
    max_interval => ... # number (optional), default: 60
    metric => ... # string (required)
    metric_type => ... # ["string", "int8", "uint8", "int16", "uint16", "int32", "uint32", "float", "double"] (optional), default: "uint8"
    port => ... # number (optional), default: 8649
    tags => ... # array (optional), default: []
    type => ... # string (optional), default: ""
    units => ... # string (optional), default: ""
