databox-statsd

Pluggable backend for StatsD, which publishes stats to Databox.

Installing and usage

Clone this repository,...

git clone https://github.com/databox/databox-statsd.git
cd databox-statsd
npm install --production

In statsd directory update config.js with your Databox token:

{
    databox: {
        push_token: '<Databox push token>'
    },
    backends: [
        "./backends/graphite",
        "... path to databox-statsd ... /databox-statsd.js",
    ],
    // ...
}

Pushing data to statsd:

# Counter example
echo "databox.counters.example:100|c" | nc -u -w0 127.0.0.1 8125

# Timer example
echo "upload.timer:600|ms|@0.1" | nc -u -w0 127.0.0.1 8125

databox-statsd currently supports only counters and `timers.

Development

Simplest way to develop and debug databox-statsd is to boot-up docker-graphite-statsd Docker image w/ Graphite and statsd already setup. Then start another local statsd daemon with databox-statsd:

# Build docker-graphite-statsd image
git clone https://github.com/hopsoft/docker-graphite-statsd.git
docker build -t graphite .
# Run it,...
docker run -d --name graphite -p 80:80 -p 2003:2003 -p 8125:8125/udp graphite

# In another terminal start statsd w/ databox-statsd
node stats.js config.js
