scollector

Overview

scollector is a replacement for OpenTSDB's TCollector and can be used to send metrics to a Bosun server.

Benefits of scollector over TCollector:

• scollector uses the HTTP based API, not the older Telnet based API
• scollector is written in Go and is more resource efficient
• scollector integrates with Bosun's metadata (Units, Gauge/Counter, Description) and allows external collectors to also use metadata

OpenTSDB 1.0 uses the tcollector data collection framework. This project aims to make scollector the preferred collector for OpenTSDB 2.0.
