Migrating from graphitesend ########################### To migrate from graphitesend to graphitesender, you must make the following changes. Metric formatting ================= In graphitesend, there was a myriad of arguments you could pass to the client to roughly customize the metric formatting. Now, they'll disappear in graphitesender so you'll have to pass the *formatter* argument instead. It should be a callable that takes a metric name and output a formatted metric name ready to be sent. You can still pass a :class:`GraphiteStructuredFormatter ` instance if you want to keep the old behavior. .. note:: Passing the formatting arguments to the client still works, but it's deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
