StatsD ingestion

The Collector supports Graphite metrics and two different ways to set up Graphite-related ingestion: StatsD or Carbon. To enable or make changes to Graphite ingestion, contact Chronosphere Support to arrange for the appropriate backend changes.

StatsD sends unaggregated data to the Collector and Chronosphere Observability Platform aggregation rules to ensure they get aggregated appropriately.

You can enable client-side aggregations for StatsD. These aggregations reduce network egress and processed writes to Observability Platform.

To ingest StatsD metrics with the Collector, add the following to the configuration file under the push YAML collection:

push:
  statsd:
    enabled: true
    listenAddress: 0.0.0.0:3031
