vaping is a healthy alternative to smokeping!


## Introduction

Vaping was started after years of frustation from dealing with perl and
environment management for smokeping. It's a simple python daemon which uses
green threads to poll for input and send output through plugins.

It has a standalone mode to directly serve realtime graphs, or can use ZeroMQ
to distribute.


## Installation

```sh
pip install vaping
```
