statsd is a friendly front-end to Graphite. This is a Python client for the statsd daemon.
To use:
>>> import statsd
>>> c = statsd.StatsClient('localhost', 8125)
>>> c.incr('foo') # Increment the 'foo' counter.
>>> c.timing('stats.timed', 320) # Record a 320ms 'stats.timed'.
You can also add a prefix to all your stats:
>>> import statsd
>>> c = statsd.StatsClient('localhost', 8125, prefix='foo')
>>> c.incr('bar') # Will be 'foo.bar' in statsd/graphite.
Installing
The easiest way to install statsd is with pip!
You can install from PyPI:
$ pip install statsd
Or GitHub:
$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/jsocol/pystatsd#egg=statsd
Or from source:
$ git clone https://github.com/jsocol/pystatsd $ cd statsd $ python setup.py install
In Django
If you’re lucky enough to be using statsd in Django, you can configure a default client in your settings module with two values. The defaults are:
STATSD_HOST = 'localhost' STATSD_PORT = 8125
Then instead of instantiating a new client every time, you can just grab:
>>> from statsd import statsd
>>> statsd.incr('foo')
You can even set a prefix (optionally):
STATSD_PREFIX = 'foo'
This can help differentiate between environments, like dev, staging, and production.
Context Manager
You can use a StatsClient instance as a context manager to easily time sections of code with the timer() method:
>>> from statsd import statsd
>>> with statsd.timer('bar'):
... func()
... func()
When the managed block exits, the client will automatically send the time it took to statsd.
If you’d like to catpure the elapsed time, add a variable to the with block:
>>> from statsd import statsd
>>> with statsd.timer('bar') as timer:
... func()
>>> print timer.ms # Elapsed time in milliseconds.
Decorator
You can also use a StatsClient instance as a decorator, also with the timer() method:
>>> from statsd import statsd
>>> @statsd.timer('bar')
... def foo():
... pass
Every time foo() is called, timing information will be sent to the stat bar.
Sample Rates
All methods support an optional rate (kw)arg. This is a float between 0 and 1 that specifies what fraction of data to send through (for a specific call). Sample rates are recorded by statsd.
For example, here foo will be incremented approximately 50% of the time:
>>> from statsd import statsd
>>> statsd.incr('foo', 1, rate=0.5)
Statsd understands that this is a 50% sample rate and will adjust accordingly.
Similarly with decr() and timings:
>>> from statsd import statsd
>>> statsd.decr('foo', 1, rate=0.5)
>>> statsd.timing('foo', 320, rate=0.25)
>>> with statsd.timer('bar', rate=0.1):
... pass
>>> @statsd.timer('bar', rate=0.5)
... def foo():
... pass
