Possibility to add boomerang site (u parameter) to mapper prefix

[roflmao]

Is there a way to add a sitename to the prefix from boomerang when sending data to statsd?

It depends on exactly what information you want to add.

At Nature, we have a requirement to differentiate live/staging/test/dev, which doesn't really lend itself to a generic solution. Instead we use a custom mapper instead that is forked from the statsd one:

That may be the correct approach for you.

Alternatively, perhaps we could specify it generically using a new command-line option. But I'm already concerned that the CLI surface area is becoming a monster so we'd have to come up with a very nice way of doing that, possibly in some kind of config file or something.
