Installation

npm install hapi-statsd

Usage

To install this plugin on your Hapi server, do something similar to this:

var Hapi = require('@hapi/hapi');
var server = new Hapi.Server();

var hapiStatsdConfig = {};

server.register({ register: require('hapi-statsd'), options: hapiStatsdConfig }, function(err) {
	if (err) {
		console.log('error', 'Failed loading plugin: hapi-statsd');
	}
});

Plugin Options

template

A template to use for the stat names to send to statsd. This can be any string that could include the following tokens that get replaced with their actual values:

• {path} - the path that the request was routed to (e.g '/users/{id}')
• {method} - the HTTP verb used on the request (e.g. 'GET')
• {statusCode} - the numerical status code of the response that the server sent back to the client (e.g. 200)

Defaults to '{path}.{method}.{statusCode}'

statsdClient

An instance of a particular statsd client that you prefer to use for sending metrics to statsd. If this is used, then the statsdHost and prefix options are ignored. Defaults to null

host

The host athat an instance of statsd is running on. An instance of the statsd-client NPM module will be created and will be configured to use this host. Defaults to 'localhost'

port

The port that an instance of statsd is listening on. An instance of the statsd-client NPM module will be created and will be configured to use this port. Defaults to 8125

prefix

The prefix to add to every stat collected. Usually used for grouping a set of stats under one hierarchy in graphite. Defaults to 'hapi'

pathSeparator

A character or set of characters to replace the '/' (forward slash) characters in your URL path since forward slashes cannot be used in stat names. Defaults to '_'

defaultFilter

Defines whether increment and timer stats are turned on by default. Defaults to { enableCounter: true, enableTimer: true }.

filters

An array of custom filters. A successful match requires one of these fields to be defined and match the route:

• id: The route id defined in the route's config
• path: The path defined in the route
• method: The HTTP method of the request/route
• status: The returned HTTP status code of the response

Parameters that are not included are considered wildcard and will match all values. Note that if none of these parameters are included in the filter, then you will get a match on ALL route-response combinations.

In addition to matching, the field can contain the following configuration options:

• name: Defines a custom name for the stat to be reported
• enableTimer: Enable/disable the timer stat from being reported
• enableCounter: Enable/disable the count stat from being reported

Example configuration:

defaultFilter: { // by default, enable timer and disable counter stats
    enableCounter: false,
    enableTimer: true,
}
filters: [
    { path: '/', enableCounter: true }, // enable counters (keep timers on as well) for this path
    { path: '/test/{param}', enableCounter: true }, // path with a parameter
    { path: '/rename', name: 'rename_stat' }, // rename the metric
    { id: 'match-my-id', enableCounter: true, enableTimer: true }, // match by route id
    { status: 407, name: 'match_on_status', enableCounter: true, enableTimer: true }, // match by status code
]

Example

A Hapi route configured like this:

server.route({
	method: 'GET',
	path: '/test/{param}',
	handler: function(request, reply) {
		reply('Success!');
	}
});

would send an increment and timing stat to statsd with the following stat name (assuming all options are set to their defaults):

hapi.test_{param}.GET.200

As the statsd client is also exposed to the hapi server, you can use any of its methods, e.g.:

server.statsd.increment('systemname.subsystem.value');
server.statsd.gauge('what.you.gauge', 100);
server.statsd.set('your.set', 200);
