# Configure StatsD
`rippled` can export health and behavioral information about itself in [StatsD](https://github.com/statsd/statsd) format. Those metrics can be consumed and visualized through [`rippledmon`](https://github.com/ripple/rippledmon) or any other collector that accepts StatsD formatted metrics.
## Configuration Steps
To enable StatsD on your `rippled` server, perform the following steps:
1. Set up a `rippledmon` instance on another machine to receive and aggregate stats.
$ git clone https://github.com/ripple/rippledmon.git
$ cd rippledmon
$ docker-compose up
Make sure [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) are installed on your machine when performing the steps above. For more information about configuring `rippledmon`, see the [`rippledmon` repository](https://github.com/ripple/rippledmon).
0. Add the `[insight]` stanza to your `rippled`'s config file.
[insight]
server=statsd
address=192.0.2.0:8125
prefix=my_rippled
- For the `address`, use the IP address and port where `rippledmon` is listening. By default, this port is 8125.
- For the `prefix`, choose a name that identifies the `rippled` server you are configuring. The prefix must not include whitespace, colons ":", or the vertical bar "|". The prefix appears on all of the StatsD metrics exported from this server.
{% include '_snippets/conf-file-location.md' %}<!--_ -->
0. Restart the `rippled` service.
$ sudo systemctl restart rippled
0. Check that the metrics are being exported:
$ tcpdump -i en0 | grep UDP
Replace `en0` with the appropriate network interface for your machine. For a complete list of the interfaces on your machine use `$ tcpdump -D`.
Sample Output:
00:41:53.066333 IP 192.0.2.2.63409 > 192.0.2.0.8125: UDP, length 196
You should periodically see messages indicating outbound traffic to the configured address and port of your `rippledmon` instance.
For descriptions of each StatsD metric, see the [`rippledmon` repository](https://github.com/ripple/rippledmon).
