Integrate Lightrun with StatsD¶
Permissions
Only users with ROLE_MANAGER permissions can perform these actions.
Statsd is a network daemon that runs on the Node.js platform and listens for statistics, such as counters and timers, that are sent over UDP or TCP protocols. It then sends aggregates of the statistics to a backend services such as Graphite.
There's a short script that performs online metric scraping from the agent log file (usually /tmp/lightrun_java_agent.INFO).
cd <install-dir>/agent/stats/
./statsd_reporter.py --host <statsd-hostname> --port <statsd-port> --logfile <agent-log-file.txt>
Prerequisites
