Rock solid metrics report...

Easily track application metrics into Statsite (Statsd compatible).

Configuration

The library has different backends, one to be used for production environment (ie. actually sending metrics using the Statsd protocol), and the others for testing or developing.

The available backends are:

Statue::UDPBackend -> this is the one that actually sends metrics to the Statsd.

eg.

Statue.backend = Statue::UDPBackend.new(statsd_host, statsd_port)

Statue::NullBackend, this backend discards all metrics (useful for test environment, if you aren't interested in testing which metrics are sent).

Statue::CaptureBackend, this backend collects all metrics (useful for test environment, if you arent interested in testing which metrics are sent). You can check the metrics with Statue.backend.captures and reset this array with Statue.backend.captures.clear or by setting a new instance before each test.

Statue::LoggerBackend, this backend logs the received metrics to a logger (useful for development purposes)

eg.

Statue.backend = Statue::LoggerBackend.new(Rails.logger)

Usage

Common meassurments

Statue.report_increment('metric.name') -> send to Statsd an increment to the counter metric.name

Statue.report_gauge('metric.name', value) -> send to Statsd the gauge value for metric.name

Statue.report_duration('metric.name') { some_operation } # => some_operation_result -> send to Statsd the measure for the block duration in metric.name

Statue.report_success_or_failure('metric.name') { some_operation } # => some_operation_result -> checks the result of the block, if its a truthy value, then increments metric.name.success, else it increments metric.name.failure.

Stopwatch

The stopwatch provides an easy way to track the duration of a long process with multiple phases.

stopwatch = Statue.stopwatch("metric") # => Starts tracking time

while something do
  do_something
  stopwatch.partial # => reports duration from last partial until now as: "metric.runtime.partial"
end

stopwatch.stop # => reports duration from start until now as: "metric.runtime.total"

Rack Integration

We provide a middleware to track basic request metrics, see: Statue::RackStatistics
