   1 beam_stats
   2 ==========
   3
   4 Periodically collects and pushes VM metrics to arbitrary consumers. Defaults to
   5 StatsD and includes off-by-default implementations for Graphite
   6 (`beam_stats_consumer_graphite`) and CSV file (`beam_stats_consumer_csv`)
   7 consumers).
   8
   9 Essentially like `folsomite`, but better. Better in the following ways:
  10
  11 - More-general: consumers other than graphite can be defined
  12 - More-focused: only concerned with VM metrics, while `folsomite` ships off
  13   _everything_ from `folsom` (in addition to VM metrics)
  14 - Easier-to-reason-about implementation: well-defined metrics-to-binary
  15   conversions, as opposed to the nearly-arbitrary term-to-string conversions
  16   used in `folsomite`
  17 - Spec'd, tested and Dialyzed
