Applications are sending metrics to it, usually via non-blocking UDP communication, and statsd servers collect these metrics, perform a few simple calculations on them and push them to backend time-series databases. There is a [plethora of client libraries](https://github.com/etsy/statsd/wiki#client-implementations) for embedding statsd metrics to any application framework. This makes statsd quite popular for custom application metrics. -## netdata statsd - netdata is a fully featured statsd server. It can collect statsd formatted metrics, visualize them on its dashboards, stream them to other netdata servers or archive them to backend time-series databases. -netdata statsd is inside netdata (an internal plugin, running inside the netdata daemon), it is configured via `netdata.conf` and by-default listens on standard statsd ports (tcp and udp 8125 - yes, netdata statsd server supports both tcp and udp at the same time). +Netdata statsd is inside Netdata (an internal plugin, running inside the Netdata daemon), it is configured via `netdata.conf` and by-default listens on standard statsd ports (tcp and udp 8125 - yes, Netdata statsd server supports both tcp and udp at the same time). -Since statsd is embedded in netdata, it means you now have a statsd server embedded on all your servers.
