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

Current statsd and nodejs versions allow you to run statsd on Windows without amendments. statsd package.json file already contains scripts to install and uninstall it as Windows service.

The installation procedure would be:

• Install nodejs for Windows
• Create a directory like C:\StatsD
• Open a console window and do cd \StatsD
• Then do npm install https://github.com/etsy/statsd.git
• In node_modules\statsd directory create your own config.json
• In the console window do cd node_modules\statsd and npm run-script install-windows-service

However, Graphite only runs on Linux.
