Right now it looks like it's around 50/sec. A lot of data points get rolled up by Telegraf on individual machines, and then it's shipped in via the UDP line protocol. I've written much larger volumes, though, and never had an issue with stability.

If I may ask. How is UDP doing for you?

I checked my graphite setup once. We had 27% of metrics lost over UDP. That was bad.

pro-tip: "netstat -anus" and look at the error counters.

About 4% err-to-received ratio. That's probably due to untuned UDP buffer sizes though; despite dropped packets, we're getting enough information to provide the information we need.
