720412 - Track statistics with statsd

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: Firefox Flicks, defect, P2)

Description

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

We will eventually want to track various statistics about things like video uploads per day, votes per day, etc. on the server. The easiest way for us to do that is via statsd and graphite (to generate pretty graphs).

Chelsea/Christie: What kind've statistics will we want to collect?

Stats we'll want:

video uploads per day
up-votes per day
views per day
views by country

Anything else?

Since country is user-specified, we're changing that log to views by locale.

In addition, I'm going to add extra logging for our different status codes (amount of 200s, 404s, 500s, etc) and for how long our requests take so we can know how the site is performing.

This looks to be working on -dev. We'll wait until it is release on prod to verify.
