StatsD client (R)

Introduction

R Client library for StatsD. Contains a direct only, buffered version in todo

Only working on Linux and Mac for now, next step would be Windows support (feel free to create a PR!)

devtools::install_github("stumpyfr/rstatsd")

Increment - Count occurrences per second/minute of a specific event
Decrement - Count occurrences per second/minute of a specific event
Count - Continously increasing value, e.g. read operations since boot
Timing - To track a duration event
Gauge Gauges are a constant data type. They are not subject to averaging, and they don’t change unless you change them. That is, once you set a gauge value, it will be a flat line on the graph until you change it again

to count each http 200 return code on post event, the last parameters allow you to set the sample rate

library("rstatsd")
client <- new(rstatsd::Statsd, "localhost", 8125, "myproject.")
client$count("http.post.200", 1, 1)
