You can configure the Monitoring Endpoint using the dsconfig command or the administrative console.

  • To create the StatsD monitoring Endpoint, use either of the following:
    • To use the command-line, run dsconfig with the create-monitoring-endpoint option.

      This example configures a new StatsD Monitoring Endpoint to send UDP data to localhost port 8125 using dsconfig.

      dsconfig create-monitoring-endpoint \
    --type statsd \
    --endpoint-name StatsDEndpoint \
    --set enabled:true \
    --set hostname:localhost \
    --set server-port:8125 \
    --set connection-type:unencrypted-udp
    • To use the Administrative Console:
      1. From the Administrative Console, click Show Advanced Configuration.
      2. In the Logging, Monitoring, and Notifications section, click Monitoring Endpoints.
      3. Click New Monitoring Endpoint.

    When you configure Monitoring Endpoint include:

    • The endpoint's host name
    • The endpoint's port
    • A toggle to use TCP or UDP
    • A toggle to use SSL if you use TCP
    You can configure a StatsD Monitoring Endpoint with custom tags using the additional-tags property. This adds the defined tags to each metric message sent to the endpoint. Each tag should be created in a "key=value" format. Additional tags are appended to the end of the StatsD message. Here is a sample StatsD message with custom tags:
    example.metric:123|g|#tag1:value1,tag2:value2
    Note:

    You can send data to any number of monitoring endpoints.
