This is a pluggable backend for StatsD, which publishes stats to another StatsD service.
TBD
Here is some more elaborate example: runs the statsd server locally on 127.0.0.100:8125 which will flush every 5 seconds via UDP to the central statsd on 192.169.111.11:8125
{
statsdHost: '192.169.111.11'
, statsdPort: 8125
, statsdDebug: false
, flushInterval: 10000
, backends: ["statsd-backend"]
, debug: false
, debugInterval: 5000
, address: '127.0.0.100'
, port: 8125
}
