anchor.diff:  
   You need to configure syslog to forward you the messages.
   For this you need to edit `/ec/syslog.conf` and add a line like this:
  +
   ----
   *.info          @127.0.0.1:5140
   ----
  
positive.code: 
  This module contains a simple proxy server that also listens on UDP port 5140
  for syslog messages. If a message is of the format:
  ----
  type=metric thread.count=7 thread.active=5 heap.permgen.size=20000000
  ----
  Then it is taken and the individual key-value-pairs are broken apart and
  sent as individual metrics to a hawkular-metrics rest server. The timestamp
  is the current time on the proxy when the udp packet was received.
  
negative.code: For this to work, the packets from Ganglia need to have a large enough TTL to be seen on the host where you run pTrans.
  
  Excerpt from gmond.conf:
