I am also looking at deploying 3 of those 4 tools, I plan to use diamond instead of collectd for some system metric collection. It appears at first glance heka can replace all 4 of those tools (which is awesome). It has a lot of other things going for it, deployability and config are pretty simple too.
The lack of customization on naming is a bit frustrating and the Influxdb backend could use some knobs too, outputting multiple columns of info would be nice (example below). These are some things I plan on getting some time to work on series name: stats.servers.<hostname>.memory columns: MemTotal, MemFree, SwapTotal, SwapFree On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 8:19 PM, Rob Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > On 10/17/2014 02:05 PM, Eric Hand-Smith wrote: > >> Hello, Folks, >> >> We were planning on deploying collectd, statsd, logstash, and >> sensu-client on our client servers/VMs. >> >> I mentioned that Heka can easily replace statsd and logstash (and >> several parts of collectd).
