A ruby client for StatsD.
gem install statsd-rb
Connecting to a StatsD instance:
require "statsd"
client = StatsD::Client.new
By default, clients will connect to localhost:8125. If you need to
connect to a remote server or a different port, use the :hostname and
:port options.
client = StatsD::Client.new(:hostname => "statsd", :port => 5000)
Once you have a client, sending statistics is easy.
Increment the downloads count:
client.incr :downloads
Increment the downloads count, telling StatsD that the counter is being
sampled every 10th time. All commands take an optional last argument
sample_rate.
client.incr :downloads, 0.1
Decrement the invites count by two:
client.decrby :invites, 2
Time the archive job:
client.time :archive do
# something
end
Send an already calculated timing:
client.timing :archive, 300 # milliseconds
