Hi, @parkerd

I appreciate all your work on this module, and I'd like to use it in production environments at my company. However, the lack of an explicit provided license would preclude me from doing so.

Could you please provide a license with the module?

Thanks!

Hi,

Currently I'm using the zabbix backend, and it works fine, but I want to send the same information to the other zabbix entity.

Is there any way to perform this? (I think there would be the problems with the configuration fields)
Any advice?

Regards,

Please publish current version that uses the node-zabbix-sender to npm.
Spent quite some time debugging to realize the difference.
Thanks

Hi, I was trying to setup statsd with this plugin and hit small issue.

Looks like by default plugin sends wrong data format to zabbix. I made logging move verbose so here is output when plugin is just running without any external data:

30 Jun 15:14:53 - statsd.bad lines[total] 1404141293 0
statsd.bad lines[avg] 1404141293 0
statsd.packets received[total] 1404141293 0
statsd.packets received[avg] 1404141293 0
statsd.timestamp lag 1404141293 0

30 Jun 15:14:53 - /usr/bin/zabbix_sender: zabbix_sender [32]: DEBUG: answer [{
        "response":"success",
        "info":"processed: 0; failed: 5; total: 5; seconds spent: 0.000061"}]

statsd version is v0.7.1
zabbix_sender version is:

zabbix_sender --version
Zabbix Sender v2.2.2 (revision 42525) (12 February 2014)
Compilation time: Feb 16 2014 23:34:44

Is it some issue in my configuration? Or is plugin outdated?

Thanks!

Hello there,

It seems that StatsD handles multilevel parameters this way: traefik.entrypoint.request.duration[mean][90].

According to the documentation of Zabbix, it should be given in the format [key1,key2]. The example above would end up like this: traefik.entrypoint.request.duration[mean,90]

It is therefore not possible to create one of this value in Zabbix.

Hello,

Trying to use statsd-zabbix-backend, but the statsd exits after some time:

My zabbixSender path is correct.

The output which proc.exec returns:

processed: 0; failed: 4; total: 4; seconds spent: 0.000112

Before that I've used zabbix_sender as logstash output and the items were getting zabbix server, so there is the high probability that it's working.

The line which it tries to execute is:

/usr/bin/zabbix_sender -T -i - -z 148.251.141.49 -p 10051

When I run it in my terminal it just executes, without any errors:

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate 2 beautiful projects - https://github.com/domnikl/statsd-php with the statsd-zabbix-backend.

In my php, I'm trying to send gauge to the statsd.

Here is how it looks like:

$logstashLength = rand(100,1000);

$connection = new \Domnikl\Statsd\Connection\Socket('localhost', 8125);
$statsd = new \Domnikl\Statsd\Client($connection, "redis.subdomain_domain_com");
$statsd->gauge('length', $logstashLength);

Here is how the value is stored in the mysql-backend:

Here is how the value is displayed in the statsd log:

5 Aug 10:37:47 - statsd.bad lines[total] 1407227867 0
statsd.bad lines[avg] 1407227867 0
statsd.packets received[total] 1407227867 1
statsd.packets received[avg] 1407227867 0.1
subdomain_domain_com length 1407227867 245

So, to catch the value on the zabbix side, currently I need to declare the host "subdomain_domain_com" and the attribute called "length".

My question - why zabbix backend doesn't convert the "_" to "." , as it did with the logstash values?

As soon as I would update my php to:

$logstashLength = rand(100,1000);

$connection = new \Domnikl\Statsd\Connection\Socket('localhost', 8125);
$statsd = new \Domnikl\Statsd\Client($connection, "redis.subdomain.domain.com");
$statsd->gauge('length', $logstashLength);

I receive the next in the logs:

5 Aug 10:48:36 - statsd.bad lines[total] 1407228517 0
statsd.bad lines[avg] 1407228517 0
statsd.packets received[total] 1407228517 1
statsd.packets received[avg] 1407228517 0.1
redis.subdomain.domain.com.length undefined 1407228517 169

What should I do in php to receive the correct hosname (with dots) during the zabbix export?

Regards,

Hello,
in the following fork : https://github.com/syncp/statsd-zabbix-backend there is a creation of zabbix item on the fly. I think it coulmd be interesting to look at it and merge it?

Hi there, in my logstash config I have the next:

 statsd {
        type => "apache-access"
        increment => "apache_status_%{response}"
        host => "127.0.0.1"
 }

My Zabbix item is configured this way:

And here is what the statsd debug shows:

It looks like it sends the averages, not the exact name. Should it be like that?

Mysql statsd backend shows the next:

While I don't see any data in my zabbix.

How should I name the variable in the logstash config and in Zabbix so I would receive the information ?
Am I configured the hostname in Zabbix correctly?

Regards,
