Statsd client to monitor CPU, Memory, Disk and Network

First, download both statsd-agent.py and statsd-agent.conf. Create a directory /opt/statsd-agent and place statsd-agent.py in it. Place the Upstart configuration file statsd-agent.conf in /etc/init/. The statsd-agent.py will automatically start as service on system startup or you can manually start it using the following command:

service statsd-agent start

stasd-agent.py is really just a single python file. You can run it directly using python command:

python statsd-agent.py

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install python-dev git
3. git clone https://github.com/sdvicorp/statsd-agent.git
4. git checkout cfg
5. sudo mkdir /opt/statsd-agent
6. sudo cp statsd-agent.py /opt/statsd-agent
7. sudo cp statsd-agent.cfg /opt/statsd-agent
8. sudo cp statsd-agent.conf /etc/init
9. sudo nano /opt/statsd-agent/statsd-agent.cfg
10. Change fields and other options as necessary
11. sudo pip install psutil statsd
12. sudo service statsd-agent start
13. cd ~
14. rm -rf statsd-agent

1. Grab the statsd-agent-sfx.exe file.
2. Run it.
3. When prompted for the output path, enter C:\statsd-agent.
4. Open cmd.exe
5. cd statsd-agent
6. Edit the statsd-agent.cfg file and set the host= and service= options (at least).
7. Run statsd-agent.exe install
8. Open the Windows Services control panel.
9. Change the statsd agent service setting for startup to automatic.
10. Start the service.

Use upstart command to run/stop statsd-agent:

service statsd-agent start
service statsd-agent stop
service statsd-agent restart
service statsd-agent status

8. cd statsd-agent
9. git checkout cfg
10. python setup.py
