StatsD exporter
A Prometheus exporter that receives StatsD-style metrics and converts them into Prometheus metrics via configurable mapping rules.
What is StatsD exporter?
StatsD exporter is a bridge for monitoring systems that translates StatsD metrics into Prometheus format. It serves as a drop-in replacement for StatsD, enabling a gradual transition to native Prometheus instrumentation while supporting existing StatsD-based applications. It converts StatsD gauges, counters, timers, histograms, and distributions into Prometheus metrics (gauges, counters, summaries, or histograms) with flexible mapping rules.
DevOps engineers and SREs who are migrating from StatsD-based monitoring (e.g., using Librato, InfluxDB, DogStatsD, or SignalFX) to Prometheus, or who need to run both systems concurrently during a transition. It is also for teams deploying applications in sidecar patterns, such as in Kubernetes pods.
Developers choose this exporter because it provides a seamless bridge with extensive tagging support for multiple StatsD variants, flexible metric mapping via glob or regex, and relay mode for gradual migration without disrupting existing workflows. Its sidecar-friendly design ensures per-instance metrics and maintains high performance with configurable caching and event flushing.
