monitor-dog

Wraps dogstatsd to provide environment based event scoping (prefixing) and timers.

Usage

// Assume `process.env.MONITOR_PREFIX === 'myProject'`, then all events
// triggered via monitor dog will be prefixed with `myProject.`.
var monitor = require('monitor-dog');

// Trigger an increment (`myProject.requests`)
monitor.increment('requests');

// Trigger a gauge event (`myProject.404s`)
monitor.gauge('404s');

// Time requests...
var timer = monitor.timer('request.time');
request('http://example.com', function(req, res) {
  // Triggers a histogram event to `myProject.request.time`
  timer.stop();
});
