SYNOPSIS

            use DataDog::DogStatsd;
    
            my $statsd = DataDog::DogStatsd->new;
            $statsd->increment( 'user.login', { tags => [ $s->cs->param( 'loginName' ) ] } );
            $statsd->timing('page.load', 320);
            $statsd->gauge('users.online', 100);
    
            # namespace version
            my $statsd = DataDog::DogStatsd->new(namespace => 'account.'); # note the '.' at the ending
            $statsd->increment('activate'); # actually as account.activate

DESCRIPTION

    Statsd: A DogStatsd client (https://www.datadoghq.com)

    The difference between Net::Statsd and this is that it supports tags
    and namespace.

METHODS

 new

      * host

      default to 127.0.0.1

      * port

      default to 8125

      * namespace

      default to ''

 increment

            $statsd->increment( 'page.views' );
            $statsd->increment( 'test.stats', { sample_rate => 0.5 } );
            $statsd->increment( 'user.login', { tags => [ $s->cs->param( 'loginName' ) ] } );

    Sends an increment (count = 1) for the given stat to the statsd server.

 decrement

            $statsd->decrement( 'products.available' );

    Sends a decrement (count = -1) for the given stat to the statsd server.

 count

            $statsd->count( 'test.stats', 2 );

    Sends an arbitrary count for the given stat to the statsd server.

 gauge

            $statsd->gauge('users.online', 100);
            $statsd->gauge('users.online', 100, { tags => ['tag1', 'tag2'] });

    Sends an arbitrary gauge value for the given stat to the statsd server.

    This is useful for recording things like available disk space, memory
    usage, and the like, which have different semantics than counters.

 histogram

            $statsd->histogram($stats, $value);

    Sends a value to be tracked as a histogram to the statsd server.

 timing

            $statsd->timing('page.load', 320);
            $statsd->timing('page.load', 320, { sample_rate => 0.5, tags => ['tag1', 'tag2'] });

    Sends a timing (in ms) for the given stat to the statsd server. The
    sample_rate determines what percentage of the time this report is sent.
    The statsd server then uses the sample_rate to correctly track the
    average timing for the stat.

 set

            $statsd->set('visitors.uniques', $user_id);

    Sends a value to be tracked as a set to the statsd server.

 event

            $statsd->event('event title', 'event text', { tags => ['tag1, 'tag2'] });
            $statsd->event('event title', 'event text', { tags => ['tag1', 'tag2'], alert_type => 'error'});

    Sends an event indicating a specific incident occurring.

    Use alert_type option to specify the kind of event, available options
    are error, warning, info, and success.
