statsd, workers, udp, and fail-safe load balancing
Hello,
I am new to graphite and needing to use statsd with it. I am setting up a master/slave config for multiple graphite servers with load balancing between statsd and carbon as a failsafe measure for if, I mean when my master crashes. However, my question is what should I do for failover protection on the statsd end.
What is the best/recommended method for this. How should my workers deal with statsd crashing? I've put a basic example down below to illustrate my question (poorly drawn, but the point should be there).
This might be a newbie question, but I was having trouble finding documentation for this issue. Also, I know the nature of UDP makes this issue tough to deal, so any pointers/
