The Wavefront proxy is a light-weight Java application that you send your metrics to. It handles authentication and the transmission of your metrics to your Wavefront instance.

Source code under org.logstash.* is used from logstash-input-beats via the Apache 2.0 license.

The recommended (and by far the easiest) way to install the most recent release of the proxy is to use The Wavefront Installer - we've developed a simple, one-line installer that configures the Wavefront proxy and/or collectd to send metrics to Wavefront in as little as one step.

We have pre-build packages for popular Linux distros. Packages for released versions are available at https://packagecloud.io/wavefront/proxy, release candidate versions are available at https://packagecloud.io/wavefront/proxy-next.

To build your own version, run the following commands (you need Apache Maven installed for a successful build)

git clone https://github.com/wavefrontHQ/java
cd java
mvn install
