Under Siege

Cassandra Statsd Reporting Tool

REQUIREMENTS

• Maven
• Java

BUILD

mvn package

It may be necessary to build the jar against the same version of the metrics library being used in Cassandra.

INSTAL

Toss the appropriate version of statsd library (hopefully in your .m2 folder by now) in your cassandra/lib/ directory. Add the following to your cassandra startup script:

JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -javaagent:/path/to/built.jar=localhost"

Or whatever path you've decided to put your agent.

Note the '=localhost' at the end. You should change this to your statsd instance.
