In order to get people familiar with the Stasis message bus, it would
be useful to have something of a tutorial. Since I'm not clever enough
to think of some cool integration we could do with Twitter, I settled
for something that might actually be useful.
This patch adds a res_statsd.so module, which implements a basic
statsd[1] client. Statsd is a very simple statistics gathering server,
which can publish its results to a backend graphing engine, like
Graphite[2]. There are several different Statsd server
implementations[3], so you can pick what works best for your
environment.
The actual example of how to use the Stasis message bus is in
res_chan_stats.so. This module demonstrates how to use subscriptions
and the message router by monitoring messages and posting channels
stats to the statsd server.
A wiki page walking through res_chan_stats.so is forthcoming.
