Sending Event counts to librato #102

Closed oddurmagg closed 9 years ago

oddurmagg commented 9 years ago

Would it make sense to be able to send counter deltas to librarto, so that in Librato we can use server-side-aggregation and use the distributed event counting: http://support.metrics.librato.com/knowledgebase/articles/213775-what-is-service-side-aggregation-ssa

That would require the Reporter to report counters as gauges in librato and remember the last value send for that counter and subtract that from the value being reported.

@oddurmagg I think what you're trying to do can be accomplished without SSA. If you send Librato counter data from multiple sources, you can just sum those up and take their derivative in aggregate using composite metrics.

Closing one way or another, because of this policy. If this is still an issue, please do reopen it once I've split the Librato client into its own little repo.
