Support multiple of sinks about statsite

[stefancoetzeetakealot]

I just wrote my own sink that sends the data to multiple sinks

Just add a sink to statsite like:

stream_cmd = python statsite/sinks/multiplex.py /etc/multiplex.conf

and a config for multiplex

python /statsite/sinks/graphite.py graphite01 2003 statsd.
python /statsite/sinks/graphite.py graphite02 2003 statsd.

Here is the python code:

"""
Supports sending metrics to multiple sinks
"""
import os
import sys
import subprocess

def main():
    # Read from config
    with open(*sys.argv[1:]) as configFile:
        sinkList = configFile.readlines()
    # Remove newlines
    sinkList = [sink.strip() for sink in sinkList]

    # Gather the metrics
    metrics = ""
    while True:
        try:
            metrics += raw_input() + '\n'
        except EOFError:
            break

    # Send metrics to each of our sinks
    for sink in sinkList:
        proc = subprocess.Popen(sink, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True)
        proc.stdin.write(metrics)
        proc.stdin.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

would you mind pointing me to the documentation where that is stated? from the code it certainly doesn't seem to be the case.

some clever use of the tee command might be able to accomplish the same task as a workaround or really any script that pipes stdin to multiple processes.
