Service metrics

Post Service Metrics

This will transmit metrics tied to services to Mackerel.

POST /api/v0/services/<serviceName>/tsdb

If old values are being transmitted to the API, the values on the Mackerel interface will be overwritten. If posting with a timestamp older than 24 hours, those metrics will not be recorded (a status code 200 response will be returned). Additionally, an alert will not occur for an old value, even if a threshold is surpassed, since alerts occur based on the latest values from the Mackerel interface.
