collectors StatsCollector

StatsCollector

This is a slightly unusual 'collector'. It collects and uploads stats to a app engine instance run by Rob Smith. The stats collected are:

• Per collector enabled or not
• Per collector interval time
• Global collector reload interval
• Global handlers
• Any custom collector set stats

These stats are stored anonymously (other then UUID), processed and the results are at http://diamond-stats.appspot.com/.

These values can help us know more about how Diamond is being used and can help us target development efforts in the future.
