24 bytes larger because we have to since the metric attribute
information.

I like it. A few questions. Why the quotes around the host and ip. Why
are we changing the "slope" terminology? positive, negative, both, zero
make sense, and we all understand them. The term "gauge" is hard to
spell :) and I dont immediately remember what it is supposed to mean.
Also, what about a metric precision attribute? An int that specifies
the number of decimal places for a float.
