|
|
|
If you are unfamiliar with statsd, you can read
|
|
`why statsd exists <http://codeascraft.etsy.com/2011/02/15/measure-anything-measure-everything/>`_,
|
|
or look at the
|
|
`NodeJS statsd implementation <https://github.com/etsy/statsd>`_.

Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `Python <http://www.python.org/>`_ - I'm testing on 2.6/2.7 at
|
|
the moment.
|
|
- `gevent <http://www.gevent.org/>`_ - A libevent wrapper.
|
|
- `distribute <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute>`_ - (or
|
|
setuptools) for builds.

|
Using gstatsd
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Show gstatsd help:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
% gstatsd -h
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Usage: gstatsd [options]
|
|
|
|
A statsd service in Python + gevent.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
--version show program's version number and exit
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-b BIND_ADDR, --bind=BIND_ADDR
|
|
bind [host]:port (host defaults to '')
|
|
-d DEST_ADDR, --dest=DEST_ADDR
|
|
receiver [backend:]host:port (backend defaults to
|
|
'graphite')
|
|
-v increase verbosity (currently used for debugging)
|
|
-f INTERVAL, --flush=INTERVAL
|
|
flush interval, in seconds (default 10)
|
|
-p PERCENT, --percent=PERCENT
|
|
percent threshold (default 90)
|
|
-l, --list list supported backends
|
|
-D, --daemonize daemonize the service
|
|
|
|
Start gstatsd and send stats to port 9100 every 5 seconds:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
% gstatsd -d :9100 -f 5
|
|
|
|
Bind listener to host 'hostname' port 8126:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
% gstatsd -b hostname:8126 -d :9100 -f 5
|
|
|
|
To send the stats to multiple graphite servers, specify multiple
|
|
destinations:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
% gstatsd -b :8125 -d stats1:9100 stats2:9100
|
|
|
|
Using the client
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
The code example below demonstrates using the low-level client
|
|
interface:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
from gstatsd import client
|
|
|
|
# location of the statsd server
|
|
hostport = ('', 8125)
|
|
|
|
raw = client.StatsClient(hostport)
|
|
|
|
# add 1 to the 'foo' bucket
|
|
raw.increment('foo')
|
|
|
|
# timer 'bar' took 25ms to complete
|
|
raw.timer('bar', 25)
|
|
|
|
You may prefer to use the stateful client:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# wraps the raw client
|
|
cli = client.Stats(raw)
|
|
|
|
timer = cli.get_timer('foo')
|
|
timer.start()
|
|
|
|
... do some work ..
|
|
|
|
# when .stop() is called, the stat is sent to the server
|
|
timer.stop()
|
|
|
