We're just now getting to grips with statsd+graphite, and we (think we) want to look at graphs sliced differently. For example, say we have a website foo that is multi-tenanted to 3 customers and served on 4 servers:
- aggregate (all servers, all tenants) across our whole service - so publish
foo.logins.attempts:3|c - aggregate by tenant (all servers) across our service - so publish
tenant1.foo.logins.attempts:3|c - individual servers across our service - so publish
tenant1.server1.foo.logins.attempts:3|c
What are the implications of
- publishing the stats 3 times (actually, one statsd call, with one stat per line), once each with each different prefix, so it's easier to find in statsd and graphite, and manipulate
- publishing the stat once (#3 above) and then using graphite to mix and match to produce the views that we want
?
