I'd start by picking a test host to tweak collectl on, insert
some debugging prints/echos/printfs showing the metric name
just before sending.

Alternatively, fire up tcpdump or wireshark/tshark on the test
host with the right options to show the packet data in ASCII and
wait for collectl to send something.
