## Data Structure for statsd counters
|
|
|
By default, values are stored into a 'counters_statistics' table. This table has a very simple structure with 3 columns :
|
|
|
-* `timestamp`: The timestamp sent by statsd flush event
|
|
|
-* `name`: The counter name
|
|
|
-* `value`: The counter value
|
|
|
+* `timestamp`: The timestamp sent by statsd flush event.
|
|
|
+* `name`: The counter name.
|
|
|
+* `value`: The counter value.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
The primary key of this table is composed by fields: timestamp and name. It means when a new value arrives for a counter, this value is added to the previous one and stored in database. With this mechanism, we can keep a log of counters values.
