Overview
The Client is the main interface for using StatsD. It defines the metric methods that you would normally call from your application.
The client set to StatsD.singleton_client will handle all metric calls made
against the StatsD singleton, e.g. StatsD.increment
.
We recommend that the configuration of the StatsD setup is provided through environment variables
You are encouraged to instantiate multiple clients, and instantiate variants
of an existing clients using #clone_with_options. We recommend instantiating
a separate client for every logical component of your application using
clone_with_options
, and setting a different metric prefix
.

Instance Attribute Details
#datagram_builder_class ⇒ Class (readonly)
The class to use to build StatsD datagrams. To build the actual datagrams, the class will be instantiated, potentially multiple times, by the client.
73 74 75 |
# File 'lib/statsd/instrument/client.rb', line 73 def datagram_builder_class @datagram_builder_class end |
#default_tags ⇒ Array<String>, ... (readonly)
The tags to apply to all the metrics emitted through this client.
The tags can be supplied in normal form: an array of strings. You can also
provide a hash, which will be turned into normal form by concatanting the
key and the value using a colon. To not use any default tags, set to nil
.
Note that other components of your StatsD metric pipeline may also add tags
to metrics. E.g. the DataDog agent may add add tags like hostname
.
We generally recommend to not use default tags, or use them sparingly. Adding tags to every metric easily introduces carninality explosions, which will make metrics less precise due to the lossy nature of aggregation. It also makes your infrastructure more expsnive to run, and the user interface of your metric explorer less responsive.

# File 'lib/statsd/instrument/client.rb', line 135 def @default_tags end |
#prefix ⇒ String? (readonly)
The prefix
can be overridden by any metric call by setting the
no_prefix
keyword argument to true
. We recommend against doing this,
but this behavior is retained for backwards compatibility.
Rather, when you feel the need to do this, we recommend instantiating
a new client without prefix (using #clone_with_options), and using it
to emit the metric.
The prefix to prepend to the metric names that are emitted through this
client, using a dot (.
) as namespace separator. E.g. when the prefix is
set to foo
, and you emit a metric named bar
, the metric name will be
foo.bar
.
Generally all the metrics you emit to the same StatsD server will share a single, global namespace. If you are emitting metrics from multiple applications, using a prefix is recommended to prevent metric name collisions.
You can also leave this value to be nil
if you don't want to prefix your
metric names.

# File 'lib/statsd/instrument/client.rb', line 118 def prefix @prefix end |
#sink ⇒ #sample?, #<< (readonly)
The sink to send UDP datagrams to.
This can be set to any object that responds to the following methods:
sample?
which should return true if the metric should be sampled, i.e. actually sent to the sink.#<<
which takes a UDP datagram as string to emit the datagram. This method will only be called ifsample?
returnedtrue
.
Generally, you should use an instance of one of the following classes that ship with this library:
- Sink A sink that will actually emit the provided datagrams over UDP.
- NullSink A sink that will simply swallow every datagram. This sink is for use when testing your application.
- LogSink A sink that log all provided datagrams to a Logger, normally StatsD.logger.

#default_sample_rate ⇒ Float
The default sample rate to use for metrics that are emitted without a sample rate set. This should be a value between 0 (never emit a metric) and 1.0 (always emit). If it is not set, the default value 1.0 is used.
We generally recommend setting sample rates on individual metrics based on their frequency, rather than changing the default sample rate.

#distribution(name, value = nil, sample_rate: nil, tags: nil, no_prefix: false, &block) ⇒ void

A NotImplementedError
will be raised if you call this method, but
the active implementation does not support it.
This method returns an undefined value.
Emits a distribution metric, which builds a histogram of the reported values.

#increment(name, value = 1, sample_rate: nil, tags: nil, no_prefix: false) ⇒ void
This method returns an undefined value.
Emits a counter metric.
You should use a counter metric to count the frequency of something happening. As a
result, the value should generally be set to 1 (the default), unless you reporting
about a batch of activity. E.g. increment('messages.processed', messages.size)
For values that are not frequencies, you should use another metric type, e.g.
#histogram or #distribution.
