Veneur is a distributed, fault-tolerant metrics pipeline written in Go that implements the DogStatsD and SSF protocols. It aggregates metrics from many hosts and forwards them to one or more downstream sinks, and can act as a global aggregator for histograms, sets, and counters.
Use cases
- aggregate metrics from hundreds of hosts before sending to a backend
- replace a local statsd/datadog agent with a faster proxy
- globally aggregate histograms and sets across a fleet
- route metrics to multiple observability backends
- collect SSF traces and metrics from services
- buffer and forward metrics reliably with fault tolerance
When to choose
- you run a large fleet emitting DogStatsD or SSF data and need aggregation or fan-out
- you want a vendor-agnostic metrics proxy with multiple sink outputs
- you need global aggregation of histograms, sets, or counters
When to avoid
- you need a full metrics visualization or alerting platform
- your stack uses protocols other than DogStatsD/SSF without custom sinks
- you want a actively evolving project - development has slowed
