Description: 
        OVERVIEW
        
        Graphite Log Feeder (GLF) is a generic tool that can parse Grinder
        log files, extract meaningful data, and forward it to Graphite for
        visualizing.  In theory it will be simple to support many log types:
        Apache, Scribe, etc.  However today the only log parser implementation
        is for Grinder logs.
        
        There is a similar tool -- Logster -- which also feeds log data
        to Graphite.  However, Logster only supports realtime log analysis,
        making it impossible to feed it a log from a few days (or more) in
        the past.
        
        
        
        INSTALLATION
        
        There is no installation process.  GLF can be run directly
        from the source tree or from the extracted tarball.
        
        However, there must be a running installation of Graphite on your
        network for GLF to forward data to.  See the Graphite web site for
        details on setting up and configuring Graphite

        USAGE
        
        (after adjusting the values in settings.py to be appropriate
        for your environment)
        
        python graphite_log_feeder.py [ -m --mapping_file ] [ -d --data_file ]
        
        (GLF can be run in Jython as well as CPython)
        
        
        
        ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
        
        Java/JMX counters and application-level metrics can be fed to
        Graphite using the JMXTrans tool:
        
        http://code.google.com/p/jmxtrans/
        
        OS-level metrics (CPU, mem, etc.) can be fed to Graphite via
        quickstatd or collectd (with graphite plugin)
