li3_statsd

Lithium library for sending statistical data to statsd.

Installation

Add a submodule to your li3 libraries:

git submodule add [email protected]:bruensicke/li3_statsd.git libraries/li3_statsd

and activate it in you app (config/bootstrap/libraries.php), of course:

Libraries::add('li3_statsd');

Usage

In order to send data to StatsD, you just call the corresponding method statically, like this:

StatsD::increment('users.login'); // add one login to counter
StatsD::increment('users.login', 0.1); // use a samplerate of 0.1

You can also set a custom format to pre/append the statistical message, like this:

// stats will be written with a path like this myapp.development.users.login
StatsD::format('myapp.{:environment}.{:name}');

You can set the format on Library load, same goes for host, port and timeout. Find a full example (with all default values) below:

Libraries::add('li3_statsd', array(
	'host' => 'localhost',
	'port' => 8125,
	'timeout' => 2,
	'format' => '{:environment}.{:name}',
));

To make it easier for you to get started, please have a look at our own fork of statsd.
