statsd

The statsd codec supports the statsd format.

The format is similar to the influx line protocol.

The codec translates a single statsd measurement line into a structured event.

Example

The native format of a single statsd event line is as follows:

sam:7|c|@0.1

The equivalent representation as a tremor value:

{
  "type": "c",
  "metric": "sam",
  "value": 7,
  "sample_rate": 0.1
}

Supported types

• c for counter
• ms for timing
• g for gauge
• h for histogram
• s for sets

Considerations

For gauge there is also the field action which might be add if the value was prefixed with a +, or sub if the value was prefixed with a -
