Also, are you using local statsd installations at each server that is sending stats, or you keep statsd separately?

In our case, most of the metrics come from the events flowing through Logstash, and statsd is on the machines running the Logstash server. Note that we are not using Logstash for shipping log events.

I'll bite: what are you using to ship logs?

EDIT: or I can read it in the post...

Probably just syslog or its recent variants.
