These scripts are used to generate metrics for GMon.
GMon receives a scripts path or looks in the current working directory for
a path called scripts
. Using symlinks we can share scripts between
installations.
A metric is a script in any language that outputs in a standardized format that GMon can understand. The format is a simple space seperated list of values.
<name>|<value>|<message>|<tag1> <tag2> <tagN>
You can have any number of tags after the message. If you do not want a message you can use two spaces. Both the message and tags are optional.
