project status?

[timotheecour]

Hi, I was looking for a similar solution to connect securely to a remote statsd server and found your project; I see it hasn't got activity in 4 years and tagged as "first POC" ; what's the status of this project? my intended use is:

• create ssh tunnel from local machine to remote server, where statsd is running; localstatsd would then use that port forwarding to connect to remote server (takes care of authentication aspect)
• collect metrics from local machine

would that work? is that the best approach you'd recommend today?

EDIT: I've settled for using socat instead

Now, we are using Influxdb and telegraf. So we are using statsd as an agent, on every server, listening something private (localhost or Docker subnetwork). The agent talks to the central storage, trhought a secure and authenticated connection (https for influxdb).

Persistant ssh tunnel is a bad idea.
