By default it uses script-tags to provide cross domain ajax without using any libraries. Logging operations are buffered for 5s and then transmitted together.

Installation

Server

$ sudo npm install -g statsc
$ statsc-server
  StatsC server listening on port 8127

$ npm install statsc

var statsc = require('statsc');
var http = require('http');

http.createServer(statsc.http).listen(8127, function() {
  console.log('StatsC server listening on port 8127');
});

Client

Include the client script in your <head>:

<script src="client.js"></script>

For testing you can serve it from rawgithub.com:

<script src="https://rawgithub.com/godmodelabs/statsc/master/client.js"></script>

StatsC automatically sends collected metrics to http://localhost:8127/ over the standard transport.

You can scale this thing up easily by just picking one of your available servers randomly, like:

var availablePorts = [8127, 8128, 8129];
var port = availablePorts[Math.round(Math.random()*availablePorts.length)-1];
stats.connect('addr:'+port);

Server API

statsc.http(req, res)

HTTP(s) server handle. Pass to http(s).createServer() in order to handle the standard script-tag transport.

statsc.receive(op)

Logs op to StatsD.

You have to use this if you don't use statsc.http.

Example with Learnboost/socket.io:

socket.on('statsc', function(data) {
 statsc.receive(data);
});

statsc.setAddress(addr)

Configure the address at which StatsD runs.

Client API

statsc.connect(addr)

Use this if the server isnt listening on http://localhost:8127 or perhaps if you are using a custom send method.

statsc.increment(stat[, sampleRate])

Increment the counter at stat by 1.

statsc.decrement(stat[, sampleRate])

Decrement the counter at stat by 1.

statsc.gauge(stat, value[, sampleRate])

Set the gauge at stat to value.

statsc.timing(stat, time[, sampleRate])

Log time to stat.

time can either be

a number in milliseconds
a Date object, created at the timer's start
a synchronous function to be timed

statsc.timer(stat[, sampleRate])

Timer utility in functional style.

Returns a function you can call when you want to mark your timer as resolved.

statsc.send(data)

Standard implementation of a send method using script tags. This shouldn't need to be called manually.

Overwrite this if you want to use websockets or jsonp or whatever.

Example using LearnBoost/socket.io:

statsc.send = function(data) {
 socket.emit('statsc', data);
};
