What is aiographite ?

aiographite is Python3 library ultilizing asyncio, designed to help Graphite users to send data into graphite easily.

Installing it globally

You can install aiographite globally with any Python package manager:

pip install aiographite

Quick start

Let’s get started.

from aiographite import connect
from aiographite.protocol import PlaintextProtocol

"""
  Initialize a aiographite instance
"""
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
plaintext_protocol = PlaintextProtocol()
graphite_conn = await connect(*httpd.address, plaintext_protocol, loop=loop)


"""
  Send a tuple (metric, value , timestamp)
"""
await graphite_conn.send(metric, value, timestamp)


"""
  Send a list of tuples List[(metric, value , timestamp)]
"""
await graphite_conn.send_multiple(list)


"""
  aiographite library also provides GraphiteEncoder module,
  which helps users to send valid metric name to graphite.
  For Example: (metric_parts, value ,timestamp)
"""
metric = graphite_conn.clean_and_join_metric_parts(metric_parts)
await graphite_conn.send(metric, value, timestamp)


"""
  Close connection
"""
await graphite_conn.close()

Example

A simple example.

from aiographite.protocol import PlaintextProtocol
from aiographite import connect
import time
import asyncio


LOOP = asyncio.get_event_loop()
SERVER = '127.0.0.1'
PORT = 2003


async def test_send_data():
  # Initiazlize an aiographite instance
  plaintext_protocol = PlaintextProtocol()
  graphite_conn = await connect(SERVER, PORT, plaintext_protocol, loop=LOOP)

  # Send data
  timestamp = time.time()
  for i in range(10):
    await graphite_conn.send("yun_test.aiographite", i, timestamp + 60 * i)))


def main():
  LOOP.run_until_complete(test_send_data())
  LOOP.close()


if __name__ == '__main__':
  main()

Development

Run unit tests.

./uranium test

Graphite setup

Do not have graphite instances ? Set up a graphite instance on your local machine!
