Curious why you don't have metrics on the other end (whatever is sending to the "Push Collector")?

What if the Push Collector is down or has a random bug where it throws away XX% of requests for no good reason? How would you know if you don't instrument the other end? Something like StatsD works fantastic for this, but also just logging those failures and using a log search/aggregation tool like Kibana or Splunk would be a step in the right direction.

Good point, we actually do. We could do the math.
