kruxstatsd is a wrapper library around pystatsd. It will format stats based
on a provided prefix (just like pystatsd), environment, and the host the
client is running on. For example, incrementing the following stat on a host
called ops-dev004.krxd.net:
import kruxstatsd
k = kruxstatsd.StatsClient('js', env='stage')
k.incr('foo')
will create a counter stat named 'stage.js.foo.ops-dev004'.
Similarly, the following:
k.timing('foo', 'TIME')
will create a timer stat named 'stage.js.foo.ops-dev004'.
To use kruxstatsd, simply import it instead of pystatsd. The interface
is exactly the same. Context managers will also continue to work:
with k.timer('expensive_op'):
