-Currently, processed data can be published using 5 different transports:
-notifier, a notification based publisher which pushes samples to a message
-queue which can be consumed by the collector or an external system; udp, which
-publishes samples using UDP packets; http, which targets a REST interface;
-and kafka, which publishes data to a Kafka message queue to be consumed by any
-system that supports Kafka.
