This is a pluggable backend for StatsD, which publishes stats to another StatsD service.
This backend is most probably redundant now since statsd now has a repeater backend which effectively serves the same purpose (relay stats to another server). Please let me know your thoughts on this.
npm install statsd-backend
You have to give basic information about your other StatsD server to use
{ statsdHost: 'localhost'
, statsdPort: 5672
}
