(Deprecated) statsd-injector
Use https://github.com/cloudfoundry/statsd-injector-release
Companion component to Metron that receives Statsd and emits Dropsonde to Metron
Getting started
The following instructions may help you get started with statsd-injector in a
standalone environment.
External Dependencies
To start, you must have the latest version of Go installed and on your PATH.
Then, choose one of the following:
Running from the bosh release
The statsd-injector-release repository contains a
complete GOPATH with all of the statsd-injector
's dependencies frozen at known working versions. Working
from that repository will guarantee the best compatibility with the bosh release.
To work from within the bosh release:
- Clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry/statsd-injector-release
- From the statsd-injector-release directory:
- Run
git submodule update --init --recursive
- If you're not using
direnv
, run source .envrc
Running with go get
Running Tests
We are using Ginkgo, to run tests. To run the tests, execute the following
from the top level directory of this repository:
ginkgo -r -race -randomizeAllSpecs
Including statsd-injector in a bosh deployment
As an example, if you want the injector to be present on loggregator boxes, add the following in cf-lamb.yml
loggregator_templates:
- name: doppler
release: (( lamb_meta.release.name ))
- name: syslog_drain_binder
release: (( lamb_meta.release.name ))
- name: metron_agent
release: (( lamb_meta.release.name ))
+ - name: statsd-injector
+ release: (( lamb_meta.release.name ))
Emitting metrics to the statsd-injector
You can emit statsd metrics to the injector by sending a correctly formatted message to udp port 8125
As an example using netcat:
echo "origin.some.counter:1|c" | nc -u -w0 127.0.0.1 8125
You should see the metric come out of the firehose.
The injector expects the the name of the metric to be of the form <origin>.<metric_name>
