Hosted Graphite statsd plugin

This is a plugin for etsy's statsd that sends your metric data to the Hosted Graphite service.

Installation

Place hostedgraphite.js into the backends/ directory of your statsd install.

Configuration

Accepts same configuration options as graphite.

hostedGraphite:
    legacyNamespace:  use the legacy namespace [default: true]
    globalPrefix:     global prefix to use for sending stats to graphite [default: "stats"]
    prefixCounter:    graphite prefix for counter metrics [default: "counters"]
    prefixTimer:      graphite prefix for timer metrics [default: "timers"]
    prefixGauge:      graphite prefix for gauge metrics [default: "gauges"]
    prefixSet:        graphite prefix for set metrics [default: "sets"]
    globalSuffix:     global suffix to use for sending stats to graphite [default: ""]
                      This is particularly useful for sending per host stats by
                      settings this value to: require('os').hostname().split('.')[0]
