Research direction
Examine the existing metrics backends in the go kit 'metrics' package, such as prometheus.go, to understand the Backend interface. Implement a new backend for Wavefront following the same pattern, using the Wavefront Go library (github.com/wavefrontHQ/go metrics wavefront). Write tests and submit a pull request.
