lynx

lynx

A minimalistic node.js client for StatsD server. Fork of original work by sivy

lynx features:

• Minimalistic — there is only a minimum of abstraction between you and statsd
• Re-usable UDP Connections – Keeps UDP connections open for a certain time
• Errors - Pluggable error handling, by default errors are ignored

Quick Start

$ npm install lynx
$ node
> var lynx = require('lynx');
> var metrics = new lynx('localhost', 8125);
{ host: 'localhost', port: 8125 }
> metrics.increment('node_test.int');
> metrics.decrement('node_test.int');
> metrics.timing('node_test.some_service.task.time', 500); // time in ms

This is the equivalent to

echo "node_test.int:1|c"  | nc -w 0 -u localhost 8125
echo "node_test.int:-1|c" | nc -w 0 -u localhost 8125
echo "node_test.some_service.task.time:500|ms" | nc -w 0 -u localhost 8125

tests

Run the tests with npm.

npm test
