this is for supporting external plugins.
external plugins will depend on a few telegraf interface types, as well
as a common telegraf registry.
this will allow external and internal plugins to both share this package
and make it easier to vendor/version the whole thing semantically, which
will make it easier to keep plugins supported across build and telegraf
versions.
see #1717
* Fix for broken librato output
These errors are delightful, but I'd rather avoid them:
```
Error parsing /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf, line 2: field corresponding to `api_user' is not defined in `*librato.Librato'
```
* Fixed bad format from last commit
main reasons behind this:
- make adding/removing tags cheap
- make adding/removing fields cheap
- make parsing cheaper
- make parse -> decorate -> write out bytes metric flow much faster
Refactor serializer to use byte buffer
in this commit:
- centralize logging output handler.
- set global Info/Debug/Error log levels based on config file or flags.
- remove per-plugin debug arg handling.
- add a I!, D!, or E! to every log message.
- add configuration option to specify where to send logs.

* Source improvement for librato output
Build the source from the list of tag instead of a configuration specified
single tag
Graphite Serializer:
* make buildTags public
* make sure not to use empty tags
Librato output:
* Improve Error handling for librato API base on error or debug flag
* Send Metric per Batch (max 300)
* use Graphite BuildTag function to generate source
The change is made that it should be retro compatible
Metric sample:
server=127.0.0.1 port=80 state=leader env=test
measurement.metric_name value
service_n.metric_x
Metric before with source tags set as "server":
source=127.0.0.1
test.80.127_0_0_1.leader.measurement.metric_name
test.80.127_0_0_1.leader.service_n.metric_x
Metric now:
source=test.80.127.0.0.1.leader
measurement.metric_name
service_n.metric_x
As you can see the source in the "new" version is much more precise
That way when filter (only from source) you can filter by env or any other tags
* Using template to specify which tagsusing for source, default concat all
tags
* revert change in graphite serializer
* better documentation, change default for template
* fmt
* test passing with new host as default tags
* use host tag in api integration test
* Limit 80 char per line, change resolution to be a int in the sample
* fmt
* remove resolution, doc for template
* fmt
This will basically make the root directory a place for storing the
major telegraf interfaces, which will make telegraf's godoc looks quite
a bit nicer. And make it easier for contributors to lookup the few data
types that they actually care about.
