This is a reporter for the go-metrics
library which will post the metrics to Graphite.
It was originally part of the go-metrics library itself, but has been split off to
github.com/cyberdelia/go-metrics-graphite and then forked here.
cyberdelia's version needs a resolved net.TCPAddr which makes it fragile
in dynamic environments, where Graphite address can points to distributed
cluster where specific hosts can change. Starting your app with cyberdelia
version means that you can loose its metrics when one of Graphite hosts in cluster
will be replaced.
This fork provides an interface with address provided as a string.
You can provide a DNS name to it and it will resolve metrics target
before each flush operation, so you can swap Graphite hosts and
send app metrics to new location without restarting it.
