Params

FieldTypeDescription
addressstringAddress of the statsd server, e.g. localhost:8125
prefixstringMetric prefix, do not specify for no prefix
flushDurationDurationFlushDuration controls the maximum amount of time between sending metrics to the statsd collection server. Metrics are reported when either flushBytes is full or flushDuration time has elapsed since the last report.
flushBytesint32Maximum UDP packet size to send; if not specified defaults to 512 bytes. If the statsd server is running on the same (private) network 1432 bytes is recommended for better performance.
samplingRatefloatChance that any particular metric is sampled when incremented; can take the range [0, 1], defaults to 1 if unspecified.
metricsrepeated map<string, MetricInfo>Map of metric name -> info. If a metric's name is not in the map then the metric will not be exported to statsd.

MetricInfo

Describes how to represent this metric in statsd

FieldTypeDescription
typeType
nameTemplatestring

The template will be filled with values from the metric's labels and the resulting string will be used as the statsd metric name. This allows easier creation of statsd metrics like actionName-responseCode. The template strings must conform to go's text/template syntax. For the example of actionName-responseCode, we use the template: \{\{.apiMethod\}\}-\{\{.responseCode\}\}

If nameTemplate is the empty string the Istio metric name will be used for statsd metric's name.
