Netuitive StatsD Backend Plugin

Netuitive offers a backend plugin for StatsD that allows you to monitor your StatsD metric data with Netuitive.

For more information on the StatsD integration with Netuitive, see our help docs, or contact Netuitive support at [email protected].

Installing the Plugin

1. Create a StatsD datasource in Netuitive (you'll need a Netuitive account).

2. Clone netuitive.js and the netuitive directory from this project.

3. Save both in your StatsD backends directory.

4. Add ./backends/netuitive to the backends section of your StatsD configuration file as shown in the code below.

        {
            backends:[
                "./backends/netuitive"
            ]
        }
   

5. Add the API key generated from creating a StatsD datasource in Netuitive as well as the API Host and API port shown in the code below to your configuration file.

    {
        backends:[
            "./backends/netuitive"
        ],
        netuitive: {
            apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
            apiHost: "YOUR_NETUITIVE_API_HOST",
            apiPort: 443,
        }
    }
   

6. Add at least one mapping for Netuitive in the mappings section of your configuration file.

    {
        backends:["./backends/netuitive"],
        netuitive: {
            apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
            apiHost: "YOUR_NETUITIVE_API_HOST",
            apiPort: 443,
            mappings: [
                {
                  pattern: "(.*?app.*?)\\.(.*?\\.mean)\\.gauge",
                  element: {
                    type: "APP Server",
                    name: "$1",
                    metric: {
                      name: "$2"
                    }
                  }
                },
                {
                  pattern: "(.*?app.*?)\\.(service.utilization)\\.gauge",
                    element: {
                      type: "APP Server",
                      name: "$1",
                      metric: {
                        name: "$2",
                        tags: [
                            {"name": "utilization", "value":"true"}
                        ]
                      }
                    }
                 },
                {
                  pattern: "\^(statsd\\..*)",
                  element: {
                    type: "StatsD",
                    name: "StatsD",
                    metric: {
                      name: "$1"
                    }
                  }
                },
                {
                  pattern: "\^(timestamp_lag.*)",
                  element: {
                    type: "StatsD",
                    name: "StatsD",
                    metric: {
                      name: "statsd.$1"
                    }
                  }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
   

7. Set the flush interval to 60000 milliseconds.

8. Save the configuration file and restart StatsD.
