To integrate StatsD and Amazon Cloudfront with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating StatsD and Amazon Cloudfront and how that can support your monitoring system.
StatsD is an open-source network daemon that listens for statistics defined as counters, gauges, and timers sent via UDP, performs aggregation of this data, then sends it on to a configurable backend service - such as Hosted Graphite. You can use StatsD to perform such aggregation before sending your metrics to us by following this short guide:
{
port: 8125,
flushInterval: 10000,
graphitePort: 2003,
graphiteHost: "carbon.hostedgraphite.com",
graphite: {
legacyNamespace: false,
globalPrefix: "<your-api-key>"
}
}
The key benefit of using StatsD is the customizability. Unlike standard Agents, you can tailor StatsD to do exactly what you want. You can map out hundreds of metrics, give the metrics customized names, and have them sent into your monitoring backend. Once you collect and forward StatsD metrics to your Hosted Graphite account, you can use these metrics to build custom dashboards and alerts.
MetricFire has an easy to use integration that pulls metrics from the Cloudwatch API, and forwards them to a Hosted Graphite account. You can configure this integration in a few simple steps:
