+#   metrics-interface-ssh
+#
+# DESCRIPTION:
+#   unlike metrics-interface, this gather metrics from interfaces
+#   of an host reacheable through SSH.
+#   typically this can be used to track metrics for an host which is not
+#   able to run sensu directly (dd-wrt, etc ...)
+#
+# OUTPUT:
+#   metric data
+#
+# PLATFORMS:
+#   Linux
