vaping is a healthy alternative to smokeping!

Vaping was started after years of frustation from dealing with perl and environment management for smokeping. It's a simple python daemon which uses green threads to poll for input and send output through plugins.

It has a standalone mode to directly serve realtime graphs, or can use ZeroMQ to distribute.

pip install vaping

Note, you will need a compiler and python development libraries for some components.
