This is a reporter for the go-metrics library which will post the metrics to Graphite. It was originally part of the go-metrics library itself, but has been split off to github.com/cyberdelia/go-metrics-graphite and then forked here.

cyberdelia's version needs a resolved net.TCPAddr which makes it fragile in dynamic environments, where Graphite address can points to distributed cluster where specific hosts can change. Starting your app with cyberdelia version means that you can loose its metrics when one of Graphite hosts in cluster will be replaced.

This fork provides an interface with address provided as a string. You can provide a DNS name to it and it will resolve metrics target before each flush operation, so you can swap Graphite hosts and send app metrics to new location without restarting it.

Usage

import "github.com/kamilchm/go-metrics-graphite"


go graphite.Graphite(metrics.DefaultRegistry,
  1*time.Second, "some.prefix", "graphite-cluster:2003")
