A statsd compatible stats aggregator written in Rust

Homer

Homer is a statsd-compatible stats aggregator written in Rust. I'm basing this implementation on github's statsd implementation brubeck.

Why

To write something in Rust. I've been reading statsd related code lately, especially a C-implementation, and I'd like to see whether I can make it shorter and easier to understand for my usecase.

What's working

• configuration loading
• statsd
  • receive packets via UDP
  • basic packet parsing (no support for sampling rates)
  • performance (recvmmsg, multi thread)
• aggregation
  • counter
  • gauge
  • timer
  • sets (maybe later)
• carbon
  • plain text protocol
  • periodic flushing
  • pickle protocol (maybe later)
• logging
• proper error handling

Setup

Get the nightly rust compiler in version 1.36.0 and run cargo run. Configuration is possible by editing the config.toml in the working directory.
