FreeBSD Feedback

From https://datadog.desk.com/agent/case/18285

• Get the agent into the FreeBSD ports tree. Include a nice init script with knobs for rc.conf. You will get packaging basically for free because ports eventually get packaged by the FreeBSD project itself for use with pkgng.
• Support Jails a bit better. It is pretty easy to detect that you are in a FreeBSD jail. Otherwise, it is also pretty straightforward to figure out if a host has jails running. Things like CPU usage and disk latency are pretty pointless when inside a jail, since those are shared with the main host. It’s a bit like Solaris Zones, if you are familiar with that concept.
• Better support for ZFS. It would be awesome if Datadog could give me useful stats about my ZFS volumes (cache usage, memory usage, deduplication factors,. etc). Note that this would not make sense from inside a FreeBSD jail.

+1 just switched stuff to collectd as it already provides these metrics for me.
