Profiles are small configuration units which can be merged into the overall configuration.
The following is an example of starting heroic with an in-memory configuration
using the shell, and the memory profile:
$> tools/heroic-shell --server -P memory
A list of all available profiles and their options can be seen with the
--help switch.
Note: -X elasticsearch.configure will cause the temporary
elasticsearch instances to be automatically configured.

Using the load-generated command, you can generate some random
data for the last week to play around with.
heroic> load-generated
...
You can also manually write some data into the the local instance:
heroic> write --series '{"key": "test", "tags": {"host": "a", "what": "foo"}}' -p 00:00=1 -p 00:01=2
heroic> write --series '{"key": "test", "tags": {"host": "a", "what": "bar"}}' -p 00:00=3 -p 00:01=4
We can fetch the data back out:
heroic> fetch --series '{"key": "test", "tags": {"host": "a", "what": "bar"}}' --start 00:00 --end 00:02
We can also query the data:
heroic> query average from points(1d) where $key = test;
heroic> query average from points(1d) where $key = test and what=bar;
