mbq.metrics 1.1.7

MBQ Metrics

Installation

$ pip install mbq.metrics
🚀✨

Guaranteed fresh.

Getting started

Initialize mbq.metrics in your settings.py like this:

from mbq import env, metrics

ENV = env.get_environment("ENV_NAME")
SERVICE_NAME = 'service-name'
metrics.init(SERVICE_NAME, ENV, constant_tags={'env': ENV_NAME})

HTTP Metrics with Django Middleware

This library also contains a piece of Django middleware you can use to create an awesome HTTP Datadog dashboard for your service! The middleware reports the following metrics to Datadog:

• Request duration in milliseconds

• Status codes (200, 404, 503 etc)

• Status ranges (2xx, 4xx, 5xx, etc)

• Response content length

• Request path

Adding the middleware to your Django project and configuring the Datadog dashboard is quick and easy: just include mbq.metrics.contrib.django.middleware.timing.TimingMiddleware in the MIDDLEWARE constant in your settings.py file.

Tada!

HTTP Metrics with WSGI Middleware (Flask)

Middleware is also included that can be easily plugged into a Flask app to generate the same sort of metrics referenced in the Django section above. Requires mbq.metrics >= 0.3.0.

See the implementation in Isengard for an example.

Testing

Tests are automatically in Travis CI but you can also run tests locally using docker-compose. We now use tox for local testing across multiple python environments. Before this use pyenv to install the following python interpreters: cpython{2.7, 3.5, 3.6} and pypy3

install and run tox:

$ docker-compose build py36

Shipping a New Release

1. Bump the version in setup.py

2. Go to Releases in GitHub and “Draft a New Release”

3. After creating a new release, Travis CI will pick up the new release and ship it to PyPi

FAQs

Where do I put the DogStatsd agent configuration?

You don’t! mbq.metrics is pre-baked with assumptions about how Q runs it’s services. Specifically, we assume that each service runs in a Docker container and that that container is running on a VM that’s running the DogStatsD agent. In that way we can automatically configure our client to reach outside of the container and easily push metrics to the agent. Read more in the datadogpy documentation or in the source.
