Python client: Single port many daemons

[haroldj...@gmail.com]

Hi list (or Brian)
I am looking to instrument an app with multiple daemons.
Can the multiprocessing code be used for that?
I don't truly understand the multiprocessing instructions but would like to expose all the instrumentation from a single port/http server and it doesn't look like other daemons can report without their own http server.

If the individual daemons are their own separate services, the intended design is that they each report their own metrics.  The multi-process mode is for identical worker processes behind a single master request router.

Thanks Ben
The separate daemons are part of the same application and maybe some would logically be separated but not all. I have not read the source but I guess I'd be looking for how something like the counter populates the data so that I can populate instrumentation objects in separate daemons. Perhaps some attribute of the start_http_server?
