Alephant::Logger::Statsd

Statsd driver for the alephant-logger gem, which consumes the statsd-ruby gem.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'alephant-logger-statsd'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install alephant-logger-statsd

Usage

Create an instance of the driver:

require "alephant/logger"
require "alephant/logger/statsd"

config = {
  :host      => "statsd.test.service.bbc.co.uk",
  :port      => 6452,
  :namespace => "test"
}

driver = Alephant::Logger::Statsd.new config
logger = Alephant::Logger.setup driver
logger.increment "foo.bar"

Note that a config is optional, if you leave any of the keys out then they will be replaced by the following:

{
  :host      => "localhost",
  :port      => 8125,
  :namespace => "statsd"
}

Then increment a custom metric, with a given key:

driver.increment 'front_page.response_time'

You can also increment the metric by a specific interval:

driver.increment('facebook.signups', 43)
