StatsD¶
About
StatsD provides easy but powerful system and application metrics and stats aggregation.
This network daemon runs on the Node.js platform and listens for statistics, like counters and timers, sent over UDP or TCP. It then sends aggregates to one or more pluggable backend services.
StatsD traditionally uses the Graphite backend and its successors, but you can also configure it to use CrateDB as a backend by relaying data through Telegraf with its built-in CrateDB Output Plugin for Telegraf.
Synopsis
