Implement statistics to graphite in PVC #7

Graphite - http://graphite.wikidot.com/

Software that would be very useful for use with pvc and could possibly fill a void where collectd is not installed in on the host.

If PVC could use the same output collection it does for GNU Plot then it may be possible to bridge this data to graphite.

Additionally capturing multiple metrics may be something to run as a context switch, not actively within the terminal as there would be many data points to measure.

I believe snmp statistics are also supported by VMware but I'm not entirely sure if they would be an ideal improvement to PVC but could also be something to consider.

SNMP is supported, but I don't see any real value in adding SNMP support to PVC, since all the information we need is provided by the performance counters, which PVC already can use and know about.

Using SNMP is better suited for monitoring systems, not PVC.
