    Description

      Filing a feature request based on a zookeeper-user discussion.

      Zookeeper should have a new four-letter word that returns key-value pairs appropriate for importing to a monitoring system (such as Ganglia which has a large installed base)

      This command should initially export the following:

      (a) Count of instances in the ensemble.
      (b) Count of up-to-date instances in the ensemble.

      But be designed such that in the future additional data can be added. For example, the output could define the statistic in a comment, then print a key "space character" value line:

      """

      1. Total number of instances in the ensemble
        zk_ensemble_instances_total 5
      2. Number of instances currently participating in the quorum.
        zk_ensemble_instances_active 4
        """

      From the mailing list:

      """

      That's a great idea. Please enter a JIRA for this - a new 4 letter word
      and JMX support. It would also be a great starter project for someone
      interested in becoming more familiar with the server code.
