That depends on the cluster type you're using. any_of
or failover
typically try not to queue metrics up, but any of the xxxx_ch
clusters will queue up until overflow.
I am using the fnv1a cluster type. During some tests of a downstream go-carbon going down for a minute I immediately saw metrics being dropped by the relay. I was expecting behavior similar to what you stated above, metrics queuing up until go-carbon came back up? Is there something else that I should have configured to allow this type of behavior? Thanks for the quick response.
@mmueller101 : you need to configure some gigantic buffer in relay for that. But I would recommend to use specialized proxy for that - https://github.com/leoleovich/grafsy
Nice. This looks like the answer here. I'll start testing this out. Thank you @deniszh .
While down stream servers are being rebooted is there a way for the relay to be able to queue metrics to that device until it comes back up? What is the desired behavior for the relay in theses types of situations to save metrics?
