Using Etsy's StatsD in a Windows Environment

Question

What will I need to use Etsy\'s Statsd in a Windows Environment? My intentions are to create a .net client to use Statsd.

Answer 1

TL;DR:

• statsd.net is a scalable statsd clone with lots of cool extras, and designed for windows-centric environments. First production release is on the 29th of May, 2013
• statsd-csharp-client is a lightweight statsd and statsd.net client, available for .net 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 via nuget.

Full Disclosure: I'm the author of these two projects and I wrote them because I couldn't take etsy's statsd service to production - my organisation isn't ready to deploy and support nodejs-based services.

I had the same problem in my organisation - we're a windows-centric environment that wants to collect stats from all over the world into a single graphite repository. I had initially thought of using etsy's statsd but my company is not yet ready to roll with nodejs services in production. Along the way I found that having my own aggregation service meant I can do lots of interesting things like add memcached support for scalability, add new aggregators and so on.

The service is usable in console mode right now, and will be ready for production use from the 29th of May 2013 onwards.
