Hello,

I have a couple questions and a suggestion.

 1. If I have about 20 Heka's running and all collecting data and sending
it to one central Heka instance which does the alerting and database
writes; do we have any benchmarks on what Heka can do ops/second in this
scenario? I did see
https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/wiki/How-to-convert-a-PayloadRegex-MultiDecoder-to-a-SandboxDecoder-using-an-LPeg-Grammar#comparison
which seem very low but I am hoping they are not what heka can do with my
use case I described.

2. The Schema InfluxDB Encoder that was just added is a great addition, are
there any plans on bringing over a similar feature set to StatMetric
InfluxDB Encoder -- being able to choose the series name to match my
existing convention would be great i.e. servers.{host}.system.cpu and the
skip fields would be nice to haves.


One suggestion I have on increasing users and visibility of the project,
the getting started guide is great and can get a new user up with something
running in 15 minutes, if we could extend that and maybe show heka
monitoring cpu, memory, disk usage and maybe even run an external app for
like ntp status. I think it would show the users the other dimensions that
heka provide them.

Heka seems like it could become the swiss arm knife for system metrics, app
metrics, log collection and alerting in a very easy deployable form and
config format. It looks like it should be able to replace collectd, statsd
and logstash like apps on a lot of systems. Thanks for the great work.

Rishi
