Title: Can't mass-assign protected attributes: ignore_unknown_metrics on executing rake vizir:init

I was getting the "mass-assign protected attributes: ignore_unknown_metrics" error while running rake vizir:init

The issue was occurring in the following line:
p.assign_attributes(attrs)

Rake file name: vizir.rake

Added :ignore_unknown_metrics to attr_custom in CollectdProvider class.

This was the error, I was facing on runing rake vizir:init:
