System.Remote.Monitoring.Statsd

Contents

The statsd syncer

Description

This module lets you periodically flush metrics to a statsd backend. Example usage:

main = do
    store <- newStore
    forkStatsd defaultStatsdOptions store

You probably want to include some of the predefined metrics defined in the ekg-core package, by calling e.g. the registerGcStats function defined in that package.

Synopsis

The statsd syncer

data Statsd #

A handle that can be used to control the statsd sync thread. Created by forkStatsd.

statsdThreadId :: Statsd -> ThreadId #

The thread ID of the statsd sync thread. You can stop the sync by killing this thread (i.e. by throwing it an asynchronous exception.)

forkStatsd #

Arguments

:: StatsdOptions	Options
-> Store	Metric store
-> IO Statsd	Statsd sync handle

Create a thread that periodically flushes the metrics in the store to statsd.

data StatsdOptions #

Options to control how to connect to the statsd server and how often to flush metrics. The flush interval should be shorter than the flush interval statsd itself uses to flush data to its backends.

Constructors

Fields

host :: !Text
Server hostname or IP address
port :: !Int
Server port
flushInterval :: !Int
Data push interval, in ms.
debug :: !Bool
Print debug output to stderr.
prefix :: !Text
Prefix to add to all metric names.
suffix :: !Text
Suffix to add to all metric names. This is particularly useful for sending per host stats by settings this value to: takeWhile (/= '.') <$> getHostName, using getHostName from the Network.BSD module in the network package.

defaultStatsdOptions :: StatsdOptions #

Defaults:

host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 8125
flushInterval = 1000
debug = False
