Overview ¶
Package writer contains the SignalFx writer. The writer is responsible for sending datapoints and events to SignalFx ingest. Ideally all data would flow through here, but right now a lot of it is written to ingest by collectd.
The writer provides a channel that all monitors can submit datapoints on. All monitors should include the "monitorType" key in the `Meta` map of the datapoint for use in filtering.
