Using gnocchi 2.1.1.dev36, when configuring a coordination URL that is unresponsive, gnocchi-metricd freezes upon start. When debug logging is enabled, metricd outputs all configuration parameters and then just stays there:

It would be useful for metricd to log a message saying that the coordination URL is not working, it'd help a lot with troubleshooting.
Thanks, regards.
