## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Package `statsd` provides a Go [dogstatsd](http://docs.datadoghq.com/guides/dogstatsd/) client. Dogstatsd extends Statsd, adding tags
|
||
|
|
and histograms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Get the code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ go get github.com/DataDog/datadog-go/statsd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go
|
||
|
|
// 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")
|
||
|
|
err = c.Gauge("request.duration", 1.2, 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
|
||
|
|
|
