Graphite

invalid line received from pystatsd

Asked by borislavd

I'm using statsd 0.3.0, django-statsd-mozilla 0.2.1, and graphite 0.9.9. I'm getting an invalid line error in carbon:

20/01/2012 14:25:33 :: [listener] invalid line received from 192.168.16.1, ignoring, line=dev.test1:1|c

The request was sent as:

In [1]: from django_statsd.clients import statsd
In [2]: statsd.incr('test1')

and I have STATSD_PREFIX = 'dev' in my Django settings file.

Looking at the source of the statsd client, that is exactly what it sends, but that doesn't meet the graphite message format spec "metric_path value timestamp\n". Am I missing something?

TIA!

Graphite doesn't understand the statsd protocol itself - you need to run a statsd daemon to receive these packets and aggregate them for Graphite. There are a lot of variants to choose from:

Be sure that the flushInterval configured in your statsd server matches the storage schema you've configured for Graphite (statsd's default is 10seconds)

Can you help with this problem?
