Description

Hi folks!

I'm trying to configure metrics logging within a Vapor app. On my development box, I have Graphite running and collecting stats on port `2003`.

The following command succeeds:

```bash
PORT=2003 SERVER=localhost echo "local.random.diceroll 4 `date +%s`" | nc ${SERVER} ${PORT}
```

But when I try to begin logging metrics from within the Vapor app, like so:

```swift
let statsdClient = try StatsdClient(host: "localhost", port: 2003)
MetricsSystem.bootstrap(statsdClient!)
let counter = Counter(label: "com.companyname.engine.startup")
counter.increment()
```

No stats are logged and I get the following log output:

```
[6479:7983275] [si_destination_compare] send failed: Invalid argument
[6479:7983275] [si_destination_compare] send failed: Undefined error: 0
```

Any clue as to what is going on? I assume it is some sort of connectivity error inside the networking layer. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Research direction

Start with StatsdClient(host:port:) and the counter.increment() call, then reproduce the failure against Graphite on localhost:2003 using the example configuration. Done means the counter is accepted by the metrics backend without the reported send errors and the metric is visible in Graphite.
