Accepted way of "rolling" perf counters?
rapoth opened this issue · comments
This is a fantastic project! I'm wondering what is the suggested way for rolling perf counter data. For instance, if you look at Serilog, there is a provision for providing a date format using which the perf files are rolled. This makes it very easy to implement retention policies (e.g., retain only the last 3 days worth of perf data).
What are your thoughts on this?
@rapoth I'm assuming you are referring to the CSV metrics that get written to a file. For that there is no support for rolling files.
There is an implementation using NLog for logging the metrics - and NLog can write to rolling files - but it is not in the core package because of the dependency on NLog and not published to nuget because it is not tested/used. Take a look at the NLog Adapter for more information.
Anyway of you care about persistent metrics, the general recommendation is to use a timeseries database like graphite or influxdb.
@etishor Thanks Iulian! I'll check this out.
