Custom formatter fails with too long command line

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

The plugin functionality which allows use of a custom formatter of values is great. However, it may happen that the command line is too long.

This could be improved if the contents that are specified on the command line were instead written to a file, and the filename was provided on the command line to the custom application.

good idea, I'll consider it, on the way!

@qishibo If you add a template variable for the server host, {HOST}, then the custom visualizer program can be configured to access the Redis host directly. It can then download the value from Redis itself and output it to stdout as usual, after decompressing or whatever. That might be easier than what I suggested first. What do you think?
