Error from send: Message too long

[keyboardfann]

Hello All,
I start statsrelay instances and use statsd-tg to do performance testing. After push metrics minutes, statsrelay show error "Error from send: Message too long". Is it because of the queue full and drop message?

Test script

while true;do statsd-tg -d 10.62.4.240 -D 12000 -T 1 -s 0 -c 1000000 -t 0 -g 0 & sleep 0.5s;pkill statsd-tg;sleep 3s;done

statsrelay1.conf

cat statsrelay1.conf
statsd:
  bind: 10.62.4.158:12001
  tcp_cork: false
  validate: true
  shard_map:
    0: 10.62.4.159:12100:udp

This happens when you try to send metrics to a UDP backend that is larger than your network interface's MTU (probably somewhere around 1500 bytes). You can either use shorter metric keys or switch to TCP for the backend to resolve this problem.

Dear @JeremyGrosser ,
Because telegraf statsd plugin only supports UDP protocol at this moment, so I need to use UDP protocol.
setting max-send-queue: 512MB parameter seems work, please correct me if I am wrong.
