zendesk_statsd

Have you ever wanted a graph of how many tickets you have in your ZenDesk views? Well, you're in luck! zendesk_statsd is a process that will consume your view counts from the Zendesk API periodically and send it to your StatsD server.

Requirements

You need to have StatsD running somewhere accessible, and have a ZenDesk account. You will also need your Zendesk API key, which you can find in Settings -> Channels -> API

1. Put things in settings.json.
2. Run with: node zendesk_statsd.js

Configuration Options

Configuration is either loaded by a settings.json in the current directory, or by environment variables. Environment variables take precendence over settings.json. "Ah but how do I set that annoying nested setting using environment variables?", I hear you ask. You can use : as a separator.

Now for the exciting list of settings:

• statsdPort
• statsdServer
• statsdPrefix
• logLevel
• statsdPrefix
• interval
• zendeskUsername
• zendeskToken
• zendeskHostname
• logLevel
• interval
• viewsToStats

Refer to exampleConfig.json for an example config file.
