connect-logger-statsd

connect-logger-statsd is a middleware layer for Connect (running on node.js) that sends request log info to statsd.

Purpose

If you're running a web service in production, you want to know about your traffic load. Instead of scraping log files, this middleware will send some request log statistics to statsd (which you can feed into carbon/graphite, monitoring tools, etc).

As of now, we record the request time (as a statsd "timer") and request rates, broken down by response code.

Installation

$ npm install connect-logger-statsd

Usage

Require the module:

var logger_statsd = require("connect-logger-statsd");

And register the middleware:

app.use(logger_statsd({
  host: "statsd.example.org",
  port: 8125,
  prefix: "example."
}));

Options

• host hostname or IP of statsd server (default "localhost")
• port port of statsd server (default 8125)
• prefix statsd metric name prefix. include the trailing "." (default "")
