statsd-rethinkdb-backend
A backend plugin for Statsd to forward flush events to RethinkDB.
Overview
Suppose you wanted to use StatsD as your main event stream aggregator due to its simple interface and its ease of integration with existing services. Perfect! Unfortunately, StatsD does not persist events or metrics for historical analysis. Enter RethinkDB.
Installation
In your StatsD installation folder, run:
$ npm install statsd-rethinkdb-backend
Include the backend in your config.js
file (see example configuration file below
for complete configuration example).
{
"backends": ["statsd-rethinkdb-backend"]
}
Configuration
There are several configuration options that are available for this backend.
package
Allows you to specify which version of the rethinkdb
module that is used to
perform RethinkDB operations. Each version of RethinkDB requires its clients to
be the same version.
host
, port
Include the host
and port
where your RethinkDB instance is running.
db
, table
Include the database name and table where you want the metrics stored.
debug
Set to true to get some logging included.
