mgo-statsd

Small go process which polls mongodb for server status shipping as metrics to statsd

Compiling

Make sure golang is installed and GOPATH is defined in your environment.

Then run ./build.sh.

Usage

The simplest form is just to run it this way and it will attempt to connect via unauthorized fashion to a mongodb instance on localhost.

./mgo-statsd  -statsd_host="statsd.hostname"

Docker container

Docker-based development stack using Docker Compose

If you have both Docker and Docker Compose installed, you can launch a complete development stack with a single command by using the provided docker-compose.yml file.

The stack defines the following containers:

• A MongoDB 3.x service, with logging muted.
• A StatsD service configured with console output backend, for debugging.
• A mgo-statsd service linked to above services, built from source. See manifest for used command-line options.

Start the stack by running:

$ docker-compose up

Stop it by CTRL+C'ing it. See Docker Compose docs for help operating the stack.
