quick little recipe to push riak stats to hostedgraphite.com

hostedgraphite

import json
from urllib2 import urlopen
import socket

UDP_ADDRESS = "carbon.hostedgraphite.com"
UDP_PORT = 2003
RIAK_STATS_URL='http://localhost:11098/stats'

HG_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'

stats=json.load(urlopen(RIAK_STATS_URL))

nn = stats['nodename'].replace('.', '-')

for k in stats:
  if type(1) == type(stats[k]):
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, # Internet
                             socket.SOCK_DGRAM) # UDP
    message='%s.%s.%s %s' % (HG_API_KEY,nn,k,stats[k])
    sock.sendto(message, (UDP_ADDRESS, UDP_PORT))
    #print message
