:keywords: StatsD, metrics
StatsD is a `protocol <https://github.com/statsd/statsd/blob/master/docs/metric_types.md>`_ to send metrics to a Daemon to store and aggregate them.
Today there are many monitoring solutions that support receiving metrics via the StatsD protocol.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
statsd:
host: REPLACEME
sensors:
id: some_sensor
name: test1.sensor
sensor:
platform: ...
id: some_sensor
This example will generate a metric named `test1.sensor` with the value of the `some_sensor` sensor.
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **host** (**Required**, ip): The Host IP of your StatsD Server.
- **post** (*Optional*, uint16): The Port of your StatsD Server. Defaults to ``8125``.
- **prefix** (*Optional*, string): The prefix to automatically prepend every metric with. Defaults to ``""``.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, uint16): How often to send the metrics. Defaults to ``10s``.
- **sensor** (*Optional*, :ref:`sensors`): A list of sensors to generate metrics for.
- **binary_sensor** (*Optional*, :ref:`sensors`): A list of binary sensors to generate metrics for.
.. _sensors:
Sensor list
-----------
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the sensor.
- **name** (**Required**, name): The Name of the metric the sensor value is send as. (Prefix is added to this name).
