Minimal wrapper library for general metrics writing using telegraf. Telegraf is a micro service provided by InfluxData for making metrics reporting easy for multiple services - see their docs for more information.

Usage

Using this library assumes you have a socket listener input setup in your telegraf config, like so (currently only tcp is supported, but udp and unix are planned):

[[inputs.socket_listener]] service_address = "tcp://localhost:8094"

Example usage:

```rust use telegraf::{Client, Point};

let c = Client::new("tcp://localhost:8094").unwrap();

let p = Point::new( String::from("measurement"), vec![ (String::from("tag1"), String::from("tag1value")) ], vec![ (String::from("field1"), Box::new(10)), (String::from("field2"), Box::new(20.5)), (String::from("field3"), Box::new("anything!")) ] );

c.write_point(p) ```

The second value in the field tuples can be any type that implements the protocol::IntoFieldData trait provided by this lib. Out of the box support is provided for String, &str, f32, and i32. You can always implement this trait on your own custom types or types I forgot!

rust pub trait IntoFieldData { fn into_field_data(&self) -> FieldData; }
