Time-series output through StatsD for node-red topics

The Node-Red project is a visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things.

This package is Node-Red contribution for sending flows to a StatsD server.

Here's an example flow that places the output of an MQTT topic into a StatsD server:

Prerequisites

1. A StatsD server running in your network.
2. Node.js installed
   • Windows / OSX / Linux
   • Raspberry Pi
   • BeagleBone Black

Installation

1. Install Node-RED: npm install -g node-red
2. Install Statsd package
   1. mkdir -p ~/.node-red/node_modules
   2. npm install --prefix ~/.node-red node-red-contrib-statsd

Usage

1. node-red
2. Open http://localhost:1880
3. Add an input or function node that produces a numeric payload (an MQTT input topic works well)
4. Add the statsd node, and connect it to the flow above
5. Add configuration parameters:
