Hi Frank,

With pmfg it's easy to report metrics but if one would want also to
write archives, then it seems that pmfg and pmi do not dance together
very well. More precisely, pmi.pmiAddMetric(), pmi.pmiAddInstance(), and
pmi.pmiPutValue() need metrics details which pmfg tries to hide.

Do you see it worthwhile or feasible to make if easier to write archives
with pmfg or is it better / expected that one uses non-pmfg methods with
archives?

Thanks,
