Overview

Package statsd provides a Go dogstatsd client. Dogstatsd extends Statsd, adding tags and histograms.

Get the code

$ go get github.com/DataDog/datadog-go/statsd

Usage

// Create the client
c, err := statsd.New("127.0.0.1:8125")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
// Prefix every metric with the app name
c.Namespace = "flubber."
// Send the EC2 availability zone as a tag with every metric
c.Tags = append(c.Tags, "us-east-1a")

// Do some metrics!
err = c.Gauge("request.queue_depth", 12, nil, 1)
err = c.Timing("request.duration", duration, nil, 1) // Uses a time.Duration!
err = c.TimeInMilliseconds("request", 12, nil, 1)
err = c.Incr("request.count_total", nil, 1)
err = c.Decr("request.count_total", nil, 1)
err = c.Count("request.count_total", 2, nil, 1)

Buffering Client

DogStatsD accepts packets with multiple statsd payloads in them. Using the BufferingClient via NewBufferingClient will buffer up commands and send them when the buffer is reached or after 100msec.

Development

Run the tests with:

$ go test
