We had a metrics meeting yesterday about data visualization and here's 
the outcome for Influx support:
* we'll update the "list series" handler so that it returns gauges with 
the "gauge." prefix and counters with the "counter." prefix
* we'll update the query handler so that it looks at the series name for 
a known prefix ("gauge." or "counter."); if there's no prefix, it will 
assume it's a gauge

With such changes we should still be able to use Grafana to visualize 
Metrics data.

Is there a parent JIRA for gauge/counter changes? I'd like to add 
children tasks for the Influx API.
