Statsite is a high-performance metrics aggregation server written in C, wire-compatible with Etsy's StatsD. It collects counters, gauges, timers, and sets over TCP/UDP, aggregates them efficiently (including HyperLogLog set cardinality estimation), and streams results to sinks like Graphite, InfluxDB, and CloudWatch.

Use cases

• aggregate statsd metrics at high throughput
• replace statsd with a faster C implementation
• ship timer percentiles and histograms to graphite
• estimate unique set cardinalities with hyperloglog
• collect application metrics over UDP
• forward metrics to influxdb or cloudwatch

When to choose

• you need statsd wire compatibility with much higher performance and lower memory usage
• you want pluggable sinks via a stream handler architecture
• you need efficient percentile/histogram computation on large metric volumes

When to avoid

• you need a modern, actively developed metrics pipeline (consider native agents or OpenTelemetry)
• you require exact percentile accuracy rather than epsilon-bounded estimates
• you want a pure-Python or easily hackable statsd implementation
