exometer_core crashing

[grosscr]

We recently upgraded to elixir 1.4, and now our metrics no longer function. It appears that the supervisor keeps crashing:

We have tried using exometer and exometer_statix for the reporters to StatsD but nothing is working. Any chance we could get some more information around why this could be happening?

From a first glance I would guess that the module is not found. Have you tried to execute

ExometerStatix.exometer_init([{hostname,"mitstatsd1.cmmint.net"},{port,8125}])

to check if the module is loaded at all? Also hostname does not seem to be a valid argument, but there should be a fallback in the reporter lib for that.

We ended up just ripping out exometer all together and replacing it with something else.
