Sounding like we want to spit metrics to a statsd server (txstatsd or
whatever), and export it to tuolumne. I suspect the existing method of
using a cronjob to dump stats to a text file and scp them across is a
pain in the bum to setup and maintain and not scalable. Using the
exiting statsd protocol seems saner than rerolling this sort of thing
with rabbit or similar as the transport.
