18:51.44Jaycewhat kind of failure?
18:53.33goozbachjxqz: do the ip address and dns name point to the same place
18:53.39goozbachis there a .ssh/config stanza for either
18:53.57goozbachalso check /etc/hosts
18:54.13goozbachto make sure you're pointing at the correct location

18:57.10programmerqhas anyone ever used statsd?
18:57.51programmerqwe want to do autoscaling based on load, and throwing monitoring in the mix when using something like nagios gets complicated quickly. I'm looking around at possible other solutions.
18:58.09programmerqI really like copperegg, but I'm hoping to find an open source solution rather than a hosted payed solution.
19:03.19jxqzprogrammerq: that's exactly what my company does
19:03.28jxqzexcept we're hosted payed
19:03.36jxqzfor now ...
19:03.38programmerqjxqz: statsd? or copperegg?

23:05.57programm1Tene: any advice on getting data into istatd? their agent seems pretty flaky, and we'll eventually want to have a windows agent as well.
23:08.35TeneI never saw any flakiness with the agent.  That's a bit odd.  You don't need to use the agents, though; just shove UDP packets at it.
23:09.27programm1Tene: I guess that's my question-- what do you use to gather your data and shove the udp data over?
23:09.53programm1we're interested in like cpu,disk io,disk usage, memory, swap, etc..
23:10.10programm1also, I don't know why freenode isn't letting me change my nick back to my normal programmerq
23:10.41TeneOh, for system stats I think they used collectd.
23:11.36programmerqah, so you're using this for application level stuff
23:11.40TeneOr, maybe they have that in the agent now; not sure.  Let me check.
23:11.51programmerqyeah, I don't want to use collectd since it wants to store in flat files
23:12.05programmerqand we want to do the whole cloud scaling with potentially short lived VMs
23:12.28TeneI'm not at IMVU right now; I remember at one point they had a collectd plugin that was sending the collected data back to istatd.
23:12.39programmerqah, that would make sense.
23:12.43TeneSo, both system stats and application stuff.
23:13.03programmerqimvu the 3d social avatar thing? or is it another imvu?
23:13.13TeneI know there was some discussion of the agent itself also recording that, and the docs mention libstatgrab is a dependency.
23:13.25TeneThe same one.  http://engineering.imvu.com/2012/09/26/continuous-monitoring-real-time-statistics-for-a-thousand-servers-and-the-application-they-serve/
23:14.12programmerqI'd feel a bit better if istatd would only log signed requests or something like that as an optin feature
23:14.20programmerqshrugs
23:14.25programmerqI'll just set my firewall up properly.
23:16.00TeneI think that's something they talked about doing with the agents; you don't want to deal with signing and such in application code, because it needs to be as lightweight as possible, but that's one of the things the agent is for
23:17.10programmerqthey do mention integrating it with collectd in the wiki, but the article they link to doesn't exist. :p
23:17.32TeneI'll ask; just a sec
23:17.37programmerqthanks. :)
23:23.31TeneYeah, they use a collectd plugin; looks like they haven't bothered publishing it anywhere though.
23:23.55programmerqthat's too bad. collectd's data gathering would be perfect.
23:23.58TeneInternally, it's in their private repo of collectd plugins, not in the istatd codebase.
23:24.05TeneIt should be pretty trivial to write, I'd expect.
23:24.06programmerqI don't think it'd be too hard to make one...
23:24.14Tenewhich is probably why they haven't bothered.
23:24.23programmerqI don't like recommended scratch writes though. hmmm
23:24.28programmerqI'll figure it out. :)
23:24.43Tenenods.
23:25.40Tenelet me ask if they'll give me a copy; I expect they'd rather have another istatd user more than they care about a plugin
23:26.00programmerqcouldn't hurt to ask.
23:26.08programmerqI certainly would appreciate it. :)
23:27.36programmerqactually, looking at collectd, they already have some sort of centralization plugin
23:27.38programmerqhrm
23:27.44programmerqwe really want our data accessible with an API though.
23:27.53programmerqwhich istatd looks like it does have.
23:28.17Teneyeah, a huge part of the imvu alerting is done via istatd.
23:28.39programmerqso they have some other internal component that just hits that API and goes from there?
23:28.57Tenemostly nagios reporters
23:29.39programmerqah
23:29.42programmerqthat makes sense
23:29.57programmerqsome nagios plugin that hits istatd with a simple shell script or something
23:30.18programmerqwe may need to provide alerting like that at some point.
23:30.25Teneas I recall, the biggest one just accepts a counter name, an acceptable range, and a time period.
23:30.42programmerqbut istatd makes any of that super easy.
23:31.22Teneit used to be in perl, but they've rewritten a lot of it in go, because process startup time was the biggest bottleneck on running enough nagios checks.
23:31.41programmerqyeah, that makes sense.
23:33.05TeneAh, collectd plugins are in C
23:33.52programmerqit looks like it may be possible to do it in another language: http://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd-python.5.shtml#writing_your_own_plugins
23:34.16TeneAh, nice.
23:34.51Teneyeah, looks like you could get an istatd plugin in like ten lines of python.
23:35.17programmerqit'd probably take me half a day to figure out collectd, and then 10 minutes to write the python. :)
23:35.29programmerqstill faster than duplicating what collectd can do on my own.
23:36.01programmerqalso, do you know what their deal is with being against autotools? I thought that was a bit odd.
23:36.10Tenejust send 'counter.name value' to udp port 8111
23:36.25Teneoh, figure out collectd, not istatd.
23:36.32programmerqyeah. :)
23:37.35TeneI don't know for collectd specifically, but most autotools complaints are general objection to complexity, sometimes with claims that portability is much simpler today (to platforms they care about) than it used to be in the bad old days of too many unixes
23:43.19TeneThe only real complaint I've had about istatd is that the visualization options aren't quite as flexible as I'd like.  You can't show min/max, you can't have stacked graphs, etc.
23:43.41programmerqyeah, the docs say the frontend is pretty basic on purpose
23:43.51programmerqI just wanted a good API to store stats and look at them.
23:43.55Tenebut, it was a HUGE improvement over cacti
23:44.04programmerqyeah, I've done cacti before
23:44.10programmerqnot going that route again.
23:44.20Teneyep, API is pretty good
23:44.35programmerqI haven't found a better api yet.
23:49.48Tenealso scaling out; there's no clustering at all.
23:50.07TeneYou'll have to get pretty big before it matters, though
23:50.24Tenewe were keeping 10s resolution for years, which... adds up.
23:54.39leviSo, it's a somewhat different thing, but I watched a fun presentation on Youtube about the math behind statsd, which aggregates various event-based statistics.
23:55.05jxqzit's probably all wrong
23:55.09jxqzthey did their math wrong
23:55.16jxqzbecause I wasn't involved somehow
23:56.08Tenelevi: interesting
23:56.11Tenelevi: link?
23:59.54jxqzTene: don't bother, it's wrong
