add dictionary support to statsd (#12980)
* add dictionary support to statsd * faster statsd sets and dictionaries; disabled events dimensions by default * properly detect tags, even without a sampling rate * statsd assumes a pipe between fields * missing param * allow names without values and support more unknown fields * more parser fixes * support multiple tags; remove the sum from the dimensions of histograms and timers, but keep it for synthetic charts * Parse statsd tags and support changing units of private charts * remove debug code * added support for naming dimensions too * updated docs * added support for family tags * updated docs

#### Sampling Rates
The application may append `|@sampling_rate`, where `sampling_rate` is a number from `0.0` to `1.0` in order for StatD to extrapolate the value and predict the total for the entire period. If the application reports to StatsD a value for 1/10th of the time, it can append `|@0.1` to the metrics it sends to statsd.
+#### Tags
+
+The application may append `|#tag1:value1,tag2:value2,tag3:value3` etc, where `tagX` and `valueX` are strings. `:valueX` can be omitted.
+
+Currently, Netdata uses only 2 tags:
+
+ * `units=string` which sets the units of the chart that is automatically generated
+ * `family=string` which sets the family of the chart that is automatically generated (the family is the submenu of the dashboard)
+ * `name=string` which sets the name of the dimension of the chart that is automatically generated (only for counters, meters, gauges)
+
+Other tags are parsed, but currently are ignored.
+
+Charts are not updated to change units or dimension names once they are created. So, either send the tags on every event, or use the special `zinit` value to initiaze the charts at the beginning. `zinit` is a special value that can be used on any chart, to have netdata initialize the charts, without actually setting any values to them. So, instead of sending `my.metric:VALUE|c|#units=bytes,name=size` every time, the application can send at the beginning `my.metric:zinit|c|#units=bytes,name=size` and then `my.metric:VALUE|c`.
+
#### Overlapping metrics
-Netdata's StatsD server maintains different indexes for each of the types supported. This means the same metric `name` may exist under different types concurrently.
+Netdata's StatsD server maintains different indexes for each of the metric types supported. This means the same metric `name` may exist under different types concurrently.
+
+#### How to name your metrics
+
+A good practice is to name your metrics like `application.operation.metric`, where:
+
+- `application` is the application name - Netdata will automatically create a dashboard section based on the first keyword of the metrics, so you can have all your applications in different sections.
+- `operation` is the operation your application is executing, like `dbquery`, `request`, `response`, etc.
+- `metric` is anything you want to name your metric as. Netdata will automatically append the metric type (meter, counter, gauge, set, dictionary, timer, histogram) to the generated chart.
+
+Using [Tags](#tags) you can also change the submenus of the dashboard, the units of the charts and for meters, counters and gauges, the name of dimension. So, you can have a usable default view without using [Synthetic StatsD charts](#synthetic-statsd-charts)
#### Multiple metrics per packet
-Netdata accepts multiple metrics per packet if each is terminated with `\n`.
+Netdata accepts multiple metrics per packet if each is terminated with a newline (`\n`) at the end.
#### TCP packets
Netdata listens for both TCP and UDP packets. For TCP, is it important to always append `\n` on each metric, as Netdata will use the newline character to detect if a metric is split into multiple TCP packets.
-On disconnect, Netdata will process the entire buffer, even if it is not terminated with a `\n`.
#### UDP packets
-When sending multiple packets over UDP, it is important not to exceed the network MTU, which is usually 1500 bytes.

+Getting the proper support for a programming language is not always easy, but the Unix shell is available on most Unix systems. You can use shell and `nc` to instrument your systems and send metric data to Netdata's StatsD implementation.
+
+Using the method you can send metrics from any script. You can generate events like: backup.started, backup.ended, backup.time, or even tail logs and convert them to metrics.
+
+> **IMPORTANT**:
+>
+> To send StatsD messages you need from the `netcat` package, the `nc` command.
+> There are multiple versions of this package. Please try to experiment with the `nc` command you have available on your right system, to find the right parameters.
+>
+> In the examples below, we assume the `openbsd-netcat` is installed.
+
+If you plan to send short StatsD events at sporadic occasions, use UDP. The messages should not be too long (remember, most networks support up to 1500 bytes MTU, which is also the limit for StatsD messages over UDP). The good thing is that using UDP will not block your script, even if the StatsD server is not there (UDP messages are "fire-and-forget").
+
-The command you need to run is:
+For UDP use this:
```sh
-echo "NAME:VALUE|TYPE" | nc -u --send-only localhost 8125
+echo "APPLICATION.METRIC:VALUE|TYPE" | nc -u -w 0 localhost 8125
```
-Where:
+`-u` turns on UDP, `-w 0` tells `nc` not to wait for a response from StatsD (idle time to close the connection).
-- `NAME` is the metric name
-- `VALUE` is the value for that metric (**gauges** `|g`, **timers** `|ms` and **histograms** `|h` accept decimal/fractional numbers, **counters** `|c` and **meters** `|m` accept integers, **sets** `|s` accept anything)
-- `TYPE` is one of `g`, `ms`, `h`, `c`, `m`, `s` to select the metric type.
+where:
-So, to set `metric1` as gauge to value `10`, use:
+- `APPLICATION` is any name for your application
+- `METRIC` is the name for the specific metric
+- `VALUE` is the value for that metric (**meters**, **counters**, **gauges**, **timers** and **histograms** accept integer/decimal/fractional numbers, **sets** and **dictionaries** accept strings)
+- `TYPE` is one of `m`, `c`, `g`, `ms`, `h`, `s`, `d` to define the metric type.
+
+For tailing a log and converting it to metrics, do something like this:
```sh
-echo "metric1:10|g" | nc -u --send-only localhost 8125
+tail -f some.log | awk 'awk commands to parse the log and format statsd metrics' | nc -N -w 120 localhost 8125
```
-To increment `metric2` by `10`, as a counter, use:
+`-N` tells `nc` to close the socket once it receives EOF on its input. `-w 120` tells `nc` to stop if the connection is idle for 120 seconds. The timeout is needed to stop the `nc` command if you restart Netdata while `nc` is connected to it. Without it, `nc` will sit idle forever.
+
+When you embed the above commands to a script, you may notice that all the metrics are sent to StatsD with a delay. They are buffered in the pipes `|`. You can turn them to real-time by prepending each command with `stdbuf -i0 -oL -eL command to be run`, like this:
```sh
-echo "metric2:10|c" | nc -u --send-only localhost 8125
+stdbuf -i0 -oL -eL tail -f some.log |\
+ stdbuf -i0 -oL -eL awk 'awk commands to parse the log and format statsd metrics' |\
+ stdbuf -i0 -oL -eL nc -N -w 120 localhost 8125
+```
+
+If you use `mawk` you also need to run awk with `-W interactive`.
+
+Examples:
+
+To set `myapp.used_memory` as gauge to value `123456`, use:
+
+```sh
+echo "myapp.used_memory:123456|g|#units:bytes" | nc -u -w 0 localhost 8125
+```
+
+To increment `myapp.files_sent` by `10`, as a counter, use:
+
+```sh
+echo "myapp.files_sent:10|c|#units:files" | nc -u -w 0 localhost 8125
```
You can send multiple metrics like this:
```sh
# send multiple metrics via UDP
-printf "metric1:10|g\nmetric2:10|c\n" | nc -u --send-only localhost 8125
+printf "myapp.used_memory:123456|g|#units:bytes\nmyapp.files_sent:10|c|#units:files\n" | nc -u -w 0 localhost 8125
