Mechanisms to send graphite protocol based telemetry data to various sinks

Literature

Sending telemetry can happen via Push or Pull based mechanism and sometimes it is a combination of both, it highly depends on these factors:

1. Latency constraints.
2. Complexity of monitoring setup.
3. Nature of resource i.e. ephemeral or not.
4. Scalability.
5. Error handling and Reliability.
6. Freshness of data/Real time data.
7. Existing Infrastructure setup.
8. Expertise within team.
9. Network constraints.

Push Based Mechanisms
