Amon Output Plugin

This plugin writes metrics to Amon monitoring platform. It requires a serverkey and amoninstance URL which can be obtained from the website for your account.

If point values being sent cannot be converted to a float64, the metric is skipped.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
