API for third-party agents metrics

[asyslinux]

Hello.

Now In Performa documentation I not find API documentation about format how to send by HTTP with JSON metrics directly to Performa server.

I want to try write byself a backend(output) plugin in Telegraf for Performa server based on this code:

https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/serializers/json https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/outputs/http

And want to send from Telegraf metrics directly to Performa server same Your performa-satellite agent. Because for Telegraf now have so much plugins for get metrics from different software.

Please, if You have time, then make a documentation about internal API for direct connecting third-party agents same Telegraf.

I apologize, this method for gather extended metrics from different software more prefer then writing shell scripts for gather mysql/postgresql/nginx/php etc statistic.

Command shell-script method is too very good solution for any custom purposes.

Thank You for development great monitoring software.
