Support for output to InfluxDB

[tmonk42]

I've started some work on adding an output formatter for InfluxDB. I think it should be useful as a pattern for any backend that accepts tagged data (ie: OpenTSDB/KairosDB).

Right now my test system is sending to both a Graphite backend and an InfluxDB backend and results are looking good especially from the AWScloudwatchEC2.rb script. Will take some work to add tag support to the others.

Awesome. It's been on my todo list to add support for InfluxDB! I spent a couple of hours playing with it a while ago but haven't had a chance to get back on it.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

One of the things I did along with this was push the options hash to a global so I can use a --dryrun and --verbose from inside the various SendFoo scripts.

Still trying to figure out the right pattern to follow where there are multiple backends that may be a mix of tagged and non-tagged.

Sweet, InfluxDB branch is now here in the main repo. I'd love get another external test before I merge this to master. https://github.com/vmetrix/vacuumetrix/tree/influxdb
