Kafka L2Met Tailer

Purpose

This program leverages ryandotsmith's l2met system (log to metric), replacing the need for logplex with a kafka consumer.

Usage

For direct usage, you can use the main package in this repo as entry point.

go get -u github.com/Adikteev/l2met_tailer
l2met_tailer -k localhost:9092 -t mytopic --librato-user me@librato.com --librato-token mytoken -r redis.local

or simply, for the many configuration options and usage

go get -u github.com/Adikteev/l2met_tailer
l2met_tailer --help

For custom usage, see the godoc for the KafkaReceiver type, and for the rest refer to the l2met documentation.
