Flip includeRoutees to false in examples #108

Closed alq666 closed 10 years ago

alq666 commented 10 years ago

This will avoid the creation of a large number of tags by default in Datadog

@janm399 does this make sense?

richiesgr commented 10 years ago

If you turn off the routee you got not information at all on the actor. all the metrics are counted without distinction thus not interresting for us

alq666 commented 10 years ago

@richiesgr thanks for the reply. How many actors would a "sane" system expect in order of magnitude? By sane, I mean a production system that would run on 50-500 hosts. Is it 10, 10^3, 10^6? I am trying to figure out how to calibrate the number of tags on our end.

Hi Not easy to figure out what's going out with this package because at each test I'm not able to check what's exactly it's send to the datadog agent. Could you help me to find a way to log locally exactly what is sent to the agent.

So I would be able to tell you why is there an astronomical quantity of tags

Thanks

@richiesgr thanks for your help. Here's an example. The high-velocity tags are highlighted in red. The name of the metric is at the top. Let me know if this helps.

@alq666 So what do you advise regarding the routees do we need to stay false or could we set to true ? because I fear that datadog are going to shut off these traffic what do think ?

I recommend setting routees to false by default. On Feb 6, 2014 3:55 AM, "richiesgr" notifications@github.com wrote:
