StatsD Configuration

[cchatfield]

Unable to get statsd to connect to a statsd hosts. The container is run and is pointed to a service running on the docker host.

Using the stats configuration I have tried the following to no avail:

ENV - STATS_DSN = "statsd://${NOMAD_IP_web}:8125" STATS_PREFIX = "janus"

{"error":"could not initialize statsd client: address statsd://192.168.121.32:8125: too many colons in address","event_name":"startup","level":"warning","msg":"an error occurred when an event was triggered","time":"2018-09-18T21:08:37Z"}

This ignores the IP. ENV - STATS_DSN = "statsd:${NOMAD_IP_web}:8125" STATS_PREFIX = "janus"

What is the correct format to specify host and port?

Janus version: latest OS and version: [Enter OS name and version here]

statsd://graphite.hellofresh.io:8125/janus.live where path is statsd prefix

@cchatfield STATS_PREFIX environment variable is no longer used.

The format @vgarvardt mentioned (statsd://${statsd_host}:8125/${statsd_prefix}) should work.

I am closing the issue; please feel free to reopen the topic if the issue persists.

Hi, Yes, I am facing the similar issue. Init() seems to be fine as it says "Statsd metrics enabled", but later it fails with "too many colons" error.

my janus toml config file section of stats looks like this,

[stats]
  exporter = "prometheus"
  dsn = "statsd://127.0.0.1:8125"

Ok, I think I know where the problem could be, reopenning the issue.

@s4nji @vgarvardt Thanks a lot for the quick resolution. Now the error logs are disapparated and stats are appearing.
