StatsD¶
StatsD is a protocol to send metrics to a Daemon to store and aggregate them. Today there are many monitoring solutions that support receiving metrics via the StatsD protocol.
# Example configuration entry
statsd:
host: REPLACEME
sensors:
id: some_sensor
name: test1.sensor
sensor:
platform: ...
id: some_sensor
This example will generate a metric named test1.sensor with the value of the some_sensor sensor.
Configuration variables:¶
host (Required, ip): The Host IP of your StatsD Server.
post (Optional, uint16): The Port of your StatsD Server. Defaults to
8125.prefix (Optional, string): The prefix to automatically prepend every metric with. Defaults to
"".update_interval (Optional, uint16): How often to send the metrics. Defaults to
10s.sensor (Optional, Sensor list): A list of sensors to generate metrics for.
binary_sensor (Optional, Sensor list): A list of binary sensors to generate metrics for.
Sensor list¶
id (Required, ID): The ID of the sensor.
name (Required, name): The Name of the metric the sensor value is send as. (Prefix is added to this name).
