Instance Method Details

#batch {|_self| ... } ⇒ Object

Send several metrics in the same packet. They will be buffered and flushed when the block finishes.

This method exists for compatibility with v4.x versions, it is not needed anymore since the batching is now automatically done internally. It also means that an automatic flush could occur if the buffer is filled during the execution of the batch block.

This method is DEPRECATED and will be removed in future v6.x API.

Examples:

Send several metrics in one packet:

$statsd.batch do |s|
   s.gauge('users.online',156)
   s.increment('page.views')
 end

Yields:

  • (_self)

Yield Parameters:

#event(title, text, opts = EMPTY_OPTIONS) ⇒ Object

This end point allows you to post events to the stream. You can tag them, set priority and even aggregate them with other events.

Aggregation in the stream is made on hostname/event_type/source_type/aggregation_key. If there’s no event type, for example, then that won’t matter; it will be grouped with other events that don’t have an event type.

Examples:

Report an awful event:

$statsd.event('Something terrible happened', 'The end is near if we do nothing', :alert_type=>'warning', :tags=>['end_of_times','urgent'])

Parameters:

  • title (String) —

    Event title

  • text (String) —

    Event text. Supports newlines (\n)

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: EMPTY_OPTIONS) —

    the additional data about the event

Options Hash (opts):

  • :date_happened (Integer, String, nil) — default: nil —

    Assign a timestamp to the event. Default is now when none

  • :hostname (String, nil) — default: nil —

    Assign a hostname to the event.

  • :aggregation_key (String, nil) — default: nil —

    Assign an aggregation key to the event, to group it with some others

  • :priority (String, nil) — default: 'normal' —

    Can be “normal” or “low”

  • :source_type_name (String, nil) — default: nil —

    Assign a source type to the event

  • :alert_type (String, nil) — default: 'info' —

    Can be “error”, “warning”, “info” or “success”.

  • :truncate_if_too_long (Boolean, false) — default: false —

    Truncate the event if it is too long

  • :tags (Array<String>) —

    tags to be added to every metric

#gauge(stat, value, opts = EMPTY_OPTIONS) ⇒ Object

Sends an arbitary gauge value for the given stat to the statsd server.

This is useful for recording things like available disk space, memory usage, and the like, which have different semantics than counters.
