Dropwizard Metrics Collectd Integration

What it is

An artifact providing support for pushing metrics from your Dropwizard app to Collectd via UDP.

Allows you to use the Collectd metric reporter without any custom code. Configuration is done through the application configuration file.

Usage

Add the dependency to your project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.appform.dropwizard</groupId>
    <artifactId>dropwizard-metrics-collectd</artifactId>
    <version>${dropwizard-metrics-collectd.version}</version>
</dependency>

Configure the collectd reporter in the metrics section of the dropwizard application configuration file:

metrics:
  reporters:
  - type: collectd
    host: localhost
    port: 2004

The example given above uses the minimal configuration.
