| 1 | # Supported Backends
|
| 2 |
|
| 3 | StatsD supports pluggable backend modules that can publish
|
| 4 | statistics from the local StatsD daemon to a backend service or data
|
| 5 | store. Backend services can retain statistics in a time series data store,
|
| 6 | visualize statistics in graphs or tables, or generate alerts based on
|
| 7 | defined thresholds. A backend can also correlate statistics sent from StatsD
|
| 8 | daemons running across multiple hosts in an infrastructure.
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 | StatsD includes the following built-in backends:
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 | * [Graphite][graphite] (`graphite`): An open-source
|
| 13 | time-series data store that provides visualization through a web-browser.
|
| 14 | * Console (`console`): Outputs the received
|
| 15 | metrics to stdout (see what's going on during development).
|
| 16 | * Repeater (`repeater`): Utilizes the `packet` emit API to
|
| 17 | forward raw packets retrieved by StatsD to multiple backend StatsD instances.
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 | By default, the `graphite` backend will be loaded automatically. Multiple
|
| 20 | backends can be run at once. To select which backends are loaded, set
|
| 21 | the `backends` configuration variable to the list of backend modules to load.
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 | Backends are just npm modules which implement the interface described in
|
| 24 | section [Backend Interface](./backend_interface.md). In order to be able to load the backend, add the
|
| 25 | module name into the `backends` variable in your config. As the name is also
|
| 26 | used in the `require` directive, you can load one of the provided backends by
|
| 27 | giving the relative path (e.g. `./backends/graphite`).
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 | A robust set of are also available as plugins to allow easy reporting into databases,
|
| 30 | queues and third-party services.
