.. _statsd:

StatsD

You can export statistics to a StatsD server (welcome to Graphite!). The connection should be defined in the Glances configuration file as following:

.. code-block:: ini

[statsd]
host=localhost
port=8125
prefix=glances

.. note:: The prefix is optional (glances by default)

and run Glances with:

.. code-block:: console

$ glances --export statsd

Glances will generate stats as:

::

'glances.cpu.user': 12.5,
'glances.cpu.total': 14.9,
'glances.load.cpucore': 4,
'glances.load.min1': 0.19,
