vey-statsd Reference
vey-statsd is a StatsD-compatible metrics ingestion and forwarding service.
It can accept incoming StatsD traffic, apply collection or normalization
logic, and export the resulting metrics to one or more downstream systems.
Within the Vey project, it is used as a dedicated metrics pipeline component between application daemons and downstream storage or observability systems. The same pipeline design also makes it suitable as a standalone relay for StatsD-compatible metrics.
At a high level, vey-statsd is built around three object families:
importers, which receive metrics from upstream senders
collectors, which aggregate or rewrite incoming metrics
exporters, which emit the resulting metrics to downstream systems
This documentation currently focuses on the static configuration model used to define those pipeline stages and the runtime settings around them.
The reference is organized as follows:
Configuration documents importers, collectors, exporters, runtime settings, and the shared value-type references imported from
vey-values.
If you are new to vey-statsd, a practical reading order is:
start with Configuration
choose an importer
choose one or more collectors
choose one or more exporters
