[Feature Request] Log unwanted input metrics .

[toni-moreno]

Could be very useful if we can get a log to audit which metrics and the IP sources of unwanted metrics

something like

match  "^caseA"  send cluster_A stop;
match "^caseB" send cluster_B stop;
match "^caseC" send cluster_C stop;
match "*" send blackhole[ /var/log/carbon-c-relay/unwanted.log] stop;

This log should have at least IP origin and metric name.

perhaps a special cluster type for this would work too?

cluster log file /var/log/wherever.log;
match * send to log;

[toni-moreno]

Yes @grobian this would be great to me.!!

When do you think it would be implemented?

[grobian]

I need to find some time, which I can't make any guarantees of at the momement. Hope that's ok.

[toni-moreno]

That's ok.

Thank you very much !!

[grobian]

this is a bit more work than I anticipated :) anyway, working on it from the garden now :D

[grobian]

OK, got file-logging implemented. IP logging is a small challenge, for that information is not available during log time.

[grobian]

would you be very disappointed if IP logging was not available?

[toni-moreno]

Ummmm... I can understand the challenge, and of course l'll be happy to use carbon-c-relay anyway.

There is any other way to detect who ( ip source) are sending unwanted metrics ?

[grobian]

Ok, then I'll keep this request open.

source ip implemented in 7d3c3c5

Hi @grobian .

I'm really happy to see this Feature Request full done !!

I will try to give you feedback as soon as i could compile and test it.

Lots of thanks !!!
