./gmetricl [-r] [-d 1-10] {-c config_file} [-i input_file [rfc4180 without new lines]]
-r                              Resolve Host Canon Name. This allow short hand names to be used in input file while full name is given to Ganglia
-d {1-10}                       Debug level. Must be 1 to 10 with 10 being most verbose.
-c {config file name}           Path to gmond config file.
-i {input file name}            Path to CSV input file. Optional. Will default to stdin. Format:
                host, ip, group, description, title, name, value, type, units, slope, tmax, dmax
                        host            Explicit Name of host (allows spoofing). Optional. Leave blank to use local hostname.
                        ip              Explicit IP of host (allows spoofing). Optional. Leave blank to automatically resolve ip associated with host. Note that ganglia requires that host have an assocatied ip.
                        group           Ganglia Group. Optional.
                        description             Ganglia Metric Description. Optional.
                        title           Ganglia Metric Title. Optional.
                        name            Ganglia Metric name
                        value           Sensed Metric Value
                        type            Metric Data type: string|int8|uint8|int16|uint16|int32|uint32|float|double
                        units           Metric unit of measure.
                        slope           Slope of metric: zero|positive|negative|both Default: both
                        tmax            The maximum time in seconds between gmetric calls. Default: 60
                        dmax            The lifetime in seconds of this metric. Default: 0 (never times out).
                Note: csv file is rfc4180 compliant with the following exceptions:
                        No Quotes (in Quotes): Quotes can be used in formating, but Ganglia can't handle quotes and they will be ignored
                        No New lines (in Quotes): New lines make no sense in this context and will result in an error.
                        Optional Fields can be empty but must still have field seperator ',' to ensure data is ordered correctly.
                        Comments: Comments will be ignored when line starts with '#' character.
