[speed:master] New Comment on Pull Request #38 Added pcp-mmvstatsd to READM=
E ( https://github.com/performancecopilot/speed/pull/38 )
By fche ( https://github.com/fche ) :

FWIW name toolshedding: "speed-daemon" or calling out this statsd-consumer=
's dependence on golang into its own name seems to focus too much on small =
stuff. The nature & value of the statsd consumer is that it turns statsd pa=
ckets into mmv data, not that it is written in go, nor that it uses the "sp=
eed" golang bindings.

@lzap , As to one bit about the tool's behaviour: it could make sense for =
it to retain information about its network peer, for propagation into the m=
mv output namespace. Instead of just ignoring where the packet came from, i=
t could pass the address or hostname into the pcp namespace somehow. One wa=
y would be to prefix the statsd metrics with that info - another way would =
be to name the mmv "client" files on a per-network-peer basis.

Conceptually, did you consider making this an archive importer rather than=
 an mmv data source? The former model could preserve the timing & content o=
f each statsd packet. The mmv model requires an external tool (pmlogger?) t=
o poll periodically, which by necessity loses timing & individual content. =
Just wondering whether you considered that.
