For me it’s the ability to route traffic to several destinations.
Say you are using Prometheus as your main monitoring system and want to
evaluate InfluxDB or OpenTSDB on the same data without installing new agents
or otherwise reconfiguring them.
Another point could be cross-datacenter links. Send data from collectors
to heka aggregator in one datacenter and make it route the traffic to
another datacenter.
The benefit here is you don’t have to track the possibly changing IP
addresses in all collectors.
Right. A final reason might be if you want to do something with the data
while it's flowing through Heka, using filters to do any real-time
monitoring and/or other analysis.
But these benefits have to be weighed against the additional complexity,
so you might very well choose to skip Heka for this particular data flow.
