I don't understand why random at sampling #3

Closed liuggio closed 11 years ago

Hello, Do you know why on the sampling there's the random function?

https://github.com/tarjei/StatsDBundle/blob/master/StatsD.php#L104

if ((mt_rand() / mt_getrandmax()) <= $sampleRate) {

Thanks

The initial implenentation was done @ etsy, but I think the idea is that you do not report all datapoints - just a fraction to reduce load.
