statsd weird formatting

I want to push sitespeed.io to datadog, which uses mostly the standard statsd protocol.

I’ve tried to use the config as:

{
    "browsertime": {
        "connectivity": {
            "profile": "3gfast"
        },
        "video": false,
        "visualMetrics": true,
        "iterations": 5,
        "chrome": {
            "timeline": true
        }
    },
    "chrome": {
        "timeline": true
    },
    "crawler": {
        "depth": 1
    },
    "plugins": {
        "remove": ["screenshot"]
    },
    "graphite": {
        "statsd": true,
        "bulkSize": 20,
        "host": "datadog-statsd.kube-system",
        "port": "8125"
    },
    "utc": true,
    "mobile": true,
    "video": false,
    "firstParty": ".hey.car"
}

And it didn’t work. So, I’ve tried to push to my localhost and monitor the statsd port with netcat:

sitespeed_io.default.pageSummary.hey_car._.chrome.3gfast.browsertime.statistics.cpu.events.ScriptWrappableMarkingVisitor__performLazyCleanup.max:0|ms 1532331394

However, it looks like the formatting is wrong, I am not sure about that timestamp at the end. The 1532331394.

If I manually push sitespeed_io.default.pageSummary.hey_car._.chrome.3gfast.browsertime.statistics.cpu.events.ScriptWrappableMarkingVisitor__performLazyCleanup.max:0|ms 1532331394

to datadog, it doesn’t work, as expected. But, if I remove the timestamp and I push sitespeed_io.default.pageSummary.hey_car._.chrome.3gfast.browsertime.statistics.cpu.events.ScriptWrappableMarkingVisitor__performLazyCleanup.max:0|ms it works.

update

I manually pushed metrics with the same library, using this snippet:

const dgram = require('dgram');

const client = dgram.createSocket('udp4');
const data = "sitespeed_io.default.pageSummary.hey_car._.chrome.3gfast2.browsertime.statistics.cpu.events.MajorGC.max:10|ms";

client.send(data, 0, data.length, "8125", "datadog-statsd.kube-system");

And it worked, so I believe there is something wrong in the code…

I pushed 7.2.3 just now. Thanks @omrilotan for fixing this so fast!!!

@marceloboeira Do you have an option to test the PR I’ve posted fixes your issue? If it does, I will also copy this fix into the stable version. (6.x)
