Hey everyone, Picking up this discussion after yesterdays KIP hangout. For anyone who did not join the meeting, we have 2 different metrics packages being used by the clients (custom package) and the server (codahale). We are discussing whether to migrate the server to the new package.
What information do we need in order to make a decision? Some pros of the new package: - Using the most recent information by combining data from previous and current samples. I'm not sure how codahale does this so I'll investigate. - We can quota on anything we measure. This is pretty cool IMO. I've investigate the feasibility of adding this feature in codahale. - Hierarchical metrics. For example: we can define a sensor for overall bytes-in/bytes-out and also per-client. Updating the client sensor will cause the global byte rate sensor to get modified too. What are some of the issues with codahale? One previous discussion mentions high memory usage but I don't have any experience with it myself. Thanks, Aditya
