Reboot/Perftap repeats same value

[cliffpracht]

Hi Iristyle,
I find this tool very useful, however we are finding that under certain conditions (like reboot a server where it starts before the network comes fully up) or other times when network goes down for short time causes it to send the same last value over and over again. This is what the graph looks like below. We have it sending to a remote statsd.

This is what the config looks like:

<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="perfTapCounterSampling" type="PerfTap.Configuration.CounterSamplingConfiguration, P
erfTap" />
    <section name="perfTapPublishing" type="PerfTap.Configuration.MetricPublishingConfiguration, PerfT
ap" />
  </configSections>
  <perfTapCounterSampling sampleInterval="00:00:05">
    <definitionFilePaths>
      <definitionFile path="CounterDefinitions\aspnet.counters" />
      <definitionFile path="CounterDefinitions\dotnet.counters" />
      <definitionFile path="CounterDefinitions\system.counters" />
      <definitionFile path="CounterDefinitions\webservice.counters" />

    </definitionFilePaths>
    <!--
    <counterNames>
      <counter name="\SearchService.ContentEnhance\Content Enhance Request Call Duration" />
    </counterNames>
    -->
  </perfTapCounterSampling>
  <perfTapPublishing prefixKey="hosts" port="8125" server="10.68.51.140" />
</configuration>

Restarting the service seems to resolve the issue. Have you seen anything like this or any ideas as to what this could be?

Thanks!
