StatsD can send data to multiple backends besides just Graphite, including third party backends like Ganglia, Librato, Datadog, and MongoDB. It also supports built-in backends like Graphite, a console, and a repeater. Creating a custom backend for StatsD is easy using the repeater. Recent changes have moved calculations out of the backends to simplify them.

Do you gather metrics from your application? Can you combine them and easily generate custom graphs out of them? Can your developers measure whatever they want at any point of your application without breaking it or making it slower?
In our next itnig friday, Víctor Martínez will show us how easy it is to roll on your own Graphite installation and how to use Etsy's statsd collector to flush your metrics. You will learn what Graphite is, how all of its components work, how to get your real time&historic metrics into Carbon, Graphite's database, and how to plot them in different manners. Víctor will show us some Graphite dashboards, alternative statds implementations, detailed common Graphite configuration gotchas, design limitations and how to deal with them.

Building Data Driven Products With Ruby - RubyConf 2012Ryan Weald
Description
Slides from RubyConf 2012 talk:
"Big data and data science have become hot topics in the developer community during the past year. This talk will show how ruby is used to build real data driven products at scale.
Data scientist Ryan Weald walks through the building of data driven products at Sharethrough, from exploratory analysis to production systems, with an emphasis on the role Ruby plays in each phase of the data driven product cycle.
He discusses how Ruby interacts with other data analysis tools -- such as Hadoop, Cascading, Python, and Javascript -- with a constructive look at Ruby's weaknesses, and presents suggestions on how Ruby can contribute more to data science in the areas of visualization and machine learning."
At Basis Technologies Open Source Search conference I talked about a project I did this past year, and talked about the lessons, both good and the bad that we learned.
PuppetCamp SEA @ Blk 71 - Puppet: The Year That WasWalter Heck
Nigel Kersten started off the day with a very interesting and informative talk about the past, current and future of Puppet. He showed Puppet's link with the worldwide tech community and how they plan to make the Puppet experience even better. He also gave updates on what Puppet Labs has done recently, as well as elaborated on the improvements of Puppet 3.0, Puppet DB and Puppet Enterprise. Nigel also mentioned that Puppet Labs is still dedicated on fixing any issues that any updates or the community may have, and that the company also hopes to improve things moving towards the future.

Statsd backends presentation
1. StatsD Backends
It’s not just for Graphite
Friday, November 2, 12
2. You know StatsD right?
• Originally by Etsy
• https://github.com/etsy/statsd
Friday, November 2, 12
3. How about
Graphite?
• Originally by Orbitz
• https://github.com/
graphite-project
Friday, November 2, 12
4. Graphite is sweet!
• It’s a great tool for the tool belt.
• It’s not for everyone though.
• Non-”standard” storage format
• have to host a “python app”
Friday, November 2, 12
5. StatsD backends FTW!
• Supports sending to a single or multiple
backends.
• This may or may not include graphite.
Friday, November 2, 12
6. Builtin Backends
• Out of the box StatsD supports:
• Graphite (of course)
• Console for debugging/troubleshooting
• Repeater for relaying StatsD packets
Friday, November 2, 12
7. Third Party Backends
•
amqp-backend
•
ganglia-backend
•
librato-backend
•
socket.io-backend
•
statsd-backend
•
mongo-backend
•
datadog-backend
•
monitis-backend
•
instrumental backend
•
hosted graphite backend
•
statsd aggregation backend
•
zabbix-backend
•
mysql-backend

8. Don’t see what you like?
• creating a custom backend is easy.
• the repeater makes it easy to experiment.
Friday, November 2, 12
9. Just got easier
• Previously Backends calculated data.
• Pull request in to move calculations out of backends.
• Simplifies backends even more.
Friday, November 2, 12
10. The Moral is?
• StatsD and StatsD protocol work great
• Do : Extend and Improve StatsD
• Do : Use StatsD with additional backends
• Don’t : reinvent the wheel
• Don’t : make your app send metrics to separate
places when StatsD can.
