StatsD Leftronic Metrics backend

Overview

This is a pluggable backend for StatsD, which publishes stats to the Leftronic Dashboard API.

Requirements

• An active Leftronic Dashboard account.

Usage

To enable this backend, include 'statsd-leftronic-backend' in the backends configuration array:

  backends: ['statsd-leftronic-backend']

The backend will read the configuration options from the following 'leftronic' hash defined in the main statsd config file:

 leftronic : {
   key : 'supersecretkey',   // (required)
   globalPrefix: 'myprefix'  // (optional, default to 'stats')
 }

Limitation

• Only supports gauges and counters for now.
• Not battle-proven yet.
