  == About
  
  netty-collectd decodes collectd UDP datagrams. The decoding process results in the creation of
  https://github.com/rhq-project/netty-collectd/blob/master/src/main/java/org/rhq/metrics/netty/collectd/events/Event.java[Event^]
  object instances.
  
  Each event instance wraps:
  
  * the sender host (see _Hostname_ in http://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd.conf.5.shtml#global_options[collectd.conf Global Options^])
  * a metric timestamp (when it was collected)
  * the plugin data (plugin and plugin instance names)
  * the type data (type and instance names)
