A new telnet server can be started using the RESTful interface. See Servers.
The communication with the telnet interface is line based, where a line represents exactly one metric:
metricName value timestamp\n
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| metricName | The name of the metric that is reported. |
| value | The value of the metric. |
| timestamp | The timestamp (milliseconds since epoch) when this metric value occured. |
The TCP connection currently has a fixed timeout of 20 seconds.
Currently a java and a C# client are under development.
