    This was an attempt to not tie the code to a specifc property.  It's 
probably better to just use the property.   I can't just pass all of the 
properties to the metrics system and defer the decision.  I'm creating a 
specific tag "ProcessName" that is used by the MetricsRegistry and metrics2 
sinks.  We are using the -Daccumulo.service.instance to deconflict the log file 
names (this is why the _ is added to the instance) and to correlate a running 
process to the logs.  I'm trying to make it easy to montor the long-running 
tserver processes by using well-named metrics that also correlate to the 
running process and the log file with the same instance (1, 2, 3, etc).  Since 
this is only a concern for the tservers, I could grab this property closer to 
the top of the call chain (TabletServer.main()) if that would be more 
acceptable.
