metrics-statsd

Statsd reporter for [codahale/metrics] (https://github.com/codahale/metrics).

Quick Start

The 3.x version of the Metrics library now uses the builder pattern to construct reporters. Below is an example of how to create a StatsdReporter and report out metrics every 15 seconds.

final Statsd statsd = new Statsd("localhost", port);

StatsdReporter reporter StatsdReporter.forRegistry(registry)
        .prefixedWith("foo")
        .convertDurationsTo(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
        .convertRatesTo(TimeUnit.SECONDS)
        .filter(MetricFilter.ALL)
        .build(statsd);
reporter.start(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

If you are using Dropwizard (0.7.x +), there is an easy way to configure a Metrics reporter to be used directly from your YAML configuration file. See (https://github.com/dropwizard/dropwizard/tree/master/dropwizard-metrics-graphite) for an example of how to create a ReporterFactory.
