libhoney Build Status Gem Version

Ruby gem for sending events to Honeycomb. (For more information, see the documentation and Ruby SDK guide.)

Installation

To install the stable release:

gem install libhoney

or add libhoney to your Gemfile:

gem 'libhoney'
# or, to follow the bleeding edge:
#gem 'libhoney', git: 'https://github.com/honeycombio/libhoney-rb.git'

This gem has some native dependencies, so if you see an error along the lines of "Failed to build gem native extension", you may need to install the Ruby development headers and a C++ compiler; e.g. on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install build-essential ruby-dev

Documentation

An API reference is available at http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/libhoney

Example Usage

Honeycomb can calculate all sorts of statistics, so send the values you care about and let us crunch the averages, percentiles, lower/upper bounds, cardinality -- whatever you want -- for you.

require 'libhoney'

# Create a client instance
honeycomb = Libhoney::Client.new(:writekey => "YOUR_WRITE_KEY",
                                 :dataset => "honeycomb-ruby-example")

honeycomb.send_now({
  duration_ms: 153.12,
  method: "get",
  hostname: "appserver15",
  payload_length: 27
})

# Call close to flush any pending calls to Honeycomb
honeycomb.close

You can find a more complete example demonstrating usage in example/fact.rb
