## `ganglia` sink
The `ganglia` sink uses the `gmetric` tool of the [Ganglia Monitoring System](http://ganglia.info/) to submit the metrics
### Configuration structure
```json
{
"<name>": {
"type": "ganglia",
"meta_as_tags" : true,
"gmetric_path" : "/path/to/gmetric",
"add_ganglia_group" : true
}
}
```
- `type`: makes the sink an `ganglia` sink
- `meta_as_tags`: print all meta information as tags in the output (optional)
- `gmetric_path`: Path to `gmetric` executable (optional). If not given, the sink searches in `$PATH` for `gmetric`.
- `add_ganglia_group`: Add `--group=X` based on meta information to the `gmetric` call. Some old versions of `gmetric` do not support the `--group` option.
