If you use UDP for metrics, every piece of hardware and software in the network can and will conspire to make your graphs wrong.

@avibryant@aphyr So packets contain occasional gauge-only values? Seems like it just shifts the app to do a lot more work.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@evanphx@aphyr you'd have different error characteristics depending on how much work the client did (and how many packets got lost).2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@avibryant@aphyr This ties in directly to my question the other day: inline stat sending vs app aggregation + pull. Aggpull is safer.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes

@avibryant@aphyr Absolutely. I'm liking it. Plays well with distributed arch too, since any agg + pull needs upstream agg as well.0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
