> FileContext currently continually appends to the metrics log file(s), generating an ever lengthening file.
> In some scenarios, it would be useful to simply write the current statistics to the file once every period, then overwrite the file for the next period.
> For instance, this could be useful if an external application parsed the metrics output - e.g. Cacti to create realtime graphs.
