statsd With nodejs On FreeBSD

Getting statsd to run on FreeBSD 8.2 was a breeze!

$ sudo portmaster www/node

statsd

$ curl -C - -L -o statsd.zip https://github.com/etsy/statsd/zipball/master
$ unzip statsd.zip
$ mv <statsd unzip> statsd
$ cd statsd
$ cp exampleConfig.js yourmachineConfig.js
$ vi yourmachineConfig.js
$ node stats.js yourmachineConfig.js

supervisord Entry

[program:statsd]
command=/usr/local/bin/node stats.js yourmachineConfig.js
directory=/path/to/statsd/
user=someuser
autostart=true
autorestart=true

Good luck!
