[Q] util.js:146 TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "superCtor" argument must be of type Function. Received type undefined

Looks like the docker container works fine and we can see new metrics in browser fine (except the only app that gets data from it), but we constantly get this error in the log:

What does this mean? How we can troubleshoot it?

Hi @xtender ,

Which version of container do you running? I see sim ilar error or in quite old statsd < 0.8.2 on on some other JS provect running on Node v6. Current image running statsd 0.9.0 and nodejs > 12. If you no using statsd you can disable it using STATSD_DISABLED=1 env variable.
