Carbonator

Carbonator is an experimental line filter that transforms log lines into graphte / carbon compatable inputs.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'carbonator'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install carbonator

$ echo measure=foo.a value=1 | carbonator
foo.a 1 1348671182

# keys outside of measure, value or timestamp will be safely ignored
$ echo app=myapp measure=foo.a value=1 | carbonator
carbonator.foo.a 1 1348671186

You may wish to adjust the prefix. As an example, you may want to add an API Key for Hosted Graphite:

$ export HOSTED_GRAPHITE_TOKEN=some-random-key
$ echo measure=foo.a value=1 | carbonator -p $HOSTED_GRAPHITE_TOKEN.measurements
some-random-key.measurements.foo.a 1 1348671211

And finally, since we're talking about command lines here, you can pipe this data straight to your Hosted Graphite installation like so:

$ echo measure=foo.a value=1 | carbonator -p $HOSTED_GRAPHITE_TOKEN | nc carbon.hostedgraphite.com 2003

Everyone stands on the shoulders of giants. I borrowed many of these conventions verbatim from ryandotsmith/l2met.
