Simple daemon that consumes a syslog udp stream and generates statsd events when certain log lines are encountered.

statsdlog sample config:

[main]
#debug = false
#statsd_host = 127.0.0.1
#statsd_port = 8125
#statsd_sample_rate = 1.0
#listen_addr = 127.0.0.1
#listen_port = 8126
#buffer_size = 8192
#max_line_backlog = 512
#report internals stats about statsdlog to statsd
#report_internal_stats = false
# if enabled report internal stats every 5 seconds
#internal_stats_interval = 5
# file that contains your log search patterns and statsd event names
patterns_file = /etc/statsdlog/patterns.json

• Copy etc/statsdlog/patterns.json to /etc/statsdlog/patterns.json
• Edit patterns.json to include the regex patterns for log lines you want to fire events for.
• Copy etc/statsdlog/statsdlog.conf-sample to /etc/statsdlog/statsdlog.conf
• Edit the the conf file to point to your statsd host
• Point syslog udp stream to 127.0.0.1:8126
• python bin/statsdlog-server --conf=/etc/statsdlog/statsdlog.conf start
• Profit!

Its important to note that the first match wins. An event will only be fired for the first match.

The included patterns.json example includes a few patterns for errors commonly encountered when running swift

via setup.py:

• git clone git://github.com/pandemicsyn/statsdlog.git
• cd statsdlog
• python setup.py install

etc/statsdlog/statsdlog.init is available as a simple init script.

via pip (No sample configs or init script. Just the goods!):

• pip install statsdlog

Clone the version you want and build the package with stdeb (sudo apt-get install stdeb):

git clone git@github.com:pandemicsyn/statsdlog.git statsdlog-0.0.5
cd statsdlog-0.0.5
git checkout 0.0.5
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
dpkg -i deb_dist/python-statsdlog_0.0.5-1_all.deb
