SYNOPSIS

    use DataDog::DogStatsd;

    my $statsd = DataDog::DogStatsd->new;
    $statsd->increment( 'user.login', { tags => [ $s->cs->param( 'loginName' ) ] } );
    $statsd->timing('page.load', 320);
    $statsd->gauge('users.online', 100);

    # namespace version
    my $statsd = DataDog::DogStatsd->new(namespace => 'account.'); # note the '.' at the ending
    $statsd->increment('activate'); # actually as account.activate

DESCRIPTION

Statsd: A DogStatsd client (https://www.datadoghq.com)

The difference between Net::Statsd and this is that it supports tags and namespace.

METHODS

new

• host

  default to 127.0.0.1

• port

  default to 8125

• namespace

  default to ''

increment

    $statsd->increment( 'page.views' );
    $statsd->increment( 'test.stats', { sample_rate => 0.5 } );
    $statsd->increment( 'user.login', { tags => [ $s->cs->param( 'loginName' ) ] } );

Sends an increment (count = 1) for the given stat to the statsd server.

decrement

    $statsd->decrement( 'products.available' );

Sends a decrement (count = -1) for the given stat to the statsd server.

count

    $statsd->count( 'test.stats', 2 );

Sends an arbitrary count for the given stat to the statsd server.

gauge

    $statsd->gauge('users.online', 100);
    $statsd->gauge('users.online', 100, { tags => ['tag1', 'tag2'] });

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.

histogram

    $statsd->histogram($stats, $value);

Sends a value to be tracked as a histogram to the statsd server.

timing

    $statsd->timing('page.load', 320);
    $statsd->timing('page.load', 320, { sample_rate => 0.5, tags => ['tag1', 'tag2'] });

Sends a timing (in ms) for the given stat to the statsd server. The sample_rate determines what percentage of the time this report is sent. The statsd server then uses the sample_rate to correctly track the average timing for the stat.

set

    $statsd->set('visitors.uniques', $user_id);

Sends a value to be tracked as a set to the statsd server.

event

    $statsd->event('event title', 'event text', { tags => ['tag1, 'tag2'] });
    $statsd->event('event title', 'event text', { tags => ['tag1', 'tag2'], alert_type => 'error'});

Sends an event indicating a specific incident occurring.

Use alert_type option to specify the kind of event, available options are error, warning, info, and success.
