rsg-metrics-server

Metrics-Server

A tiny server for receiving metrics by HTTP post.

The metrics are stored to MongoDB.

Install

npm install -g rsg-metrics-server

Run

rsg-metrics-server [--port <portno>]

Configuration

Edit the file config.json where you can set the database, collections and port for the server.

The port can be optionally specified on the command line.

Post metrics

The body of the HTTP post should look like this

{
	"Metrics": [
		// Array of metrics posted to the server.
	],
	"Properties": [
		// Key/value pairs attached to this set of metrics. 
	]
} 

Each metric in the array is stored in the database as a separate document.

Each metric has time stamp and properties attached before being stored in the database.
