mm-metrics 0.4.0

Python client library abstracting away metrics collection

# metrics-python Abstract API wrapping application metrics collection methods.

## Installation `bash pip install mm-metrics `

## API Depending on whether the client requests a statsD or a REST version of the interface, they will be presented with different available methods to track metrics.

### StatsD Methods #### Increment Increment a counter for a metric.

`increment(metric)`

#### Gauge Set the magnitude of a metric to a value

`gauge(metric, value)`

## Motivation Given that most client’s have similar (and straightforward) requirements for metric tracking, we wrap these common methods (as well as helper tooling) in this abstract Python API. This gives us the flexibility to:

• Maintain metric tracking functionality in a central location

• Decouple metric tracking from core application functionality

• Swap statsD providers opaquely (e.g DogStatsD -> Vanilla StatsD)
