RetainKeys, Recycling Connections, Buffered Sends, More BufferedTimer stats #8
Conversation
1) more stats to timers 2) RetainKeys options for Buffer client to keep send stats even if they are 0 3) send stats in may lines (not one connection per line) 4) Add "Reset" to events (to deal with retain keys) 5) Add a NoOp client for easy switching when there is no statsd in your land 6) ReCycleConnection for buffered client to close connections after sending (in order to pick up and new IPs)

hi Wyndham, I've cherry-picked a few changes (e.g. the NoOp client), can you update the PR with the current version? Also, can you add a few more comments about the proposed functionality? Thanks. |

Hi .. been a while. Sorry about that. The "RetainKeys" option lets the emitter send "0"s for keys that have not gotten any metrics in the flush window (for a buffered client anyways). This is not something that one typically wants by default. But sometimes "0" is better then "null" in which ever metric|alerting system one is using. It means things things are still running, but nothing is happening rather then the service is dead. Thus the "Reset" is added to 0 out keys rather then simply remove them. This is sort of like the The RecycleConnections is for systems that constantly have moving targets based on DNS names. Otherwise things will hold on to the old original IP addr until the app is restarted. Which helps when migrating the backend systems to new systems non-destructively. |
- EchoClient: prints the lines as the would go out - FloatGauge - String() methods for nice printing - mend some go race conditions - add median/std to buffered timers - add sample rates for clients (static: one for counters, one for timers) - add stats to the expvars so we can seem them on the profile pages
