one option to reduce data loss on udp is to ensure you get multiple samples per time slice. sure you may get an average from 2 instead of 3 but it won't be a gap/loss
I've been using multicast udp ( not to graphite ) and have taken this approach. so far it has been working pretty well. we are recording approx 90k metrics and have not noticed much in the way of gaps Bill Schwanitz If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut. - Albert Einstein. > On Oct 18, 2013, at 9:00 AM, Michael Hart <[email protected]> wrote: > > I know this isn't the answer, but switching to UDP is a workaround.
