Overview

Batch: A batching statsd proxy

Batch is a subclass of Statsd, but with a constructor that proxies to a normal Statsd instance. It has it’s own batch_size and namespace parameters (that inherit defaults from the supplied Statsd instance). It is recommended that some care is taken if setting very large batch sizes. If the batch size exceeds the allowed packet size for UDP on your network, communication troubles may occur and data will be lost.

Examples:

Batch a set of instruments using Batch and manual flush:

$statsd = Statsd.new 'localhost', 8125
batch = Statsd::Batch.new($statsd)
batch.increment 'garets'
batch.timing 'glork', 320
batch.gauge 'bork', 100
batch.flush
