Struct StatsdClient

pub struct StatsdClient { /* private fields */ }

Client for Statsd that implements various traits to record metrics.

Traits

The client is the main entry point for users of this library. It supports several traits for recording metrics of different types.

• Counted for emitting counters.
• Timed for emitting timings.
• Gauged for emitting gauge values.
• Metered for emitting meter values.
• Histogrammed for emitting histogram values.
• Distributed for emitting distribution values.
• Setted for emitting set values.
• MetricClient for a combination of all of the above.

For more information about the uses for each type of metric, see the documentation for each mentioned trait.

Sinks

The client uses some implementation of a MetricSink to emit the metrics.

In simple use cases when performance isn’t critical, the UdpMetricSink is an acceptable choice since it is the simplest to use and understand.

When performance is more important, users will want to use the BufferedUdpMetricSink in combination with the QueuingMetricSink for maximum isolation between the sending of metrics and your application as well as minimum overhead when sending metrics.

Threading

The StatsdClient is designed to work in a multithreaded application. All parts of the client can be shared between threads (i.e. it is Send and Sync). An example of how to use the client in a multithreaded environment is given below.

In the following example, we create a struct MyRequestHandler that has a single method that spawns a thread to do some work and emit a metric.

Wrapping With An Arc

In order to share a client between multiple threads, you’ll need to wrap it with an atomic reference counting pointer (std::sync::Arc). You should refer to the client by the trait of all its methods for recording metrics (MetricClient) as well as the Send and Sync traits since the idea is to share this between threads.

use std::panic::RefUnwindSafe;
use std::net::UdpSocket;
use std::sync::Arc;
use std::thread;
use cadence::prelude::*;
use cadence::{StatsdClient, BufferedUdpMetricSink, DEFAULT_PORT};

struct MyRequestHandler {
    metrics: Arc<dyn MetricClient + Send + Sync + RefUnwindSafe>,
}

impl MyRequestHandler {
    fn new() -> MyRequestHandler {
        let socket = UdpSocket::bind("0.0.0.0:0").unwrap();
        let host = ("localhost", DEFAULT_PORT);
        let sink = BufferedUdpMetricSink::from(host, socket).unwrap();
        MyRequestHandler {
            metrics: Arc::new(StatsdClient::from_sink("some.prefix", sink))
        }
    }

    fn handle_some_request(&self) -> Result<(), String> {
        let metric_ref = self.metrics.clone();
        let _t = thread::spawn(move || {
            println!("Hello from the thread!");
            metric_ref.count("request.handler", 1);
        });

        Ok(())
    }
}

Implementations

impl StatsdClient

pub fn from_sink<T>(prefix: &str, sink: T) -> Self

where T: MetricSink + Sync + Send + RefUnwindSafe + 'static,

Create a new client instance that will use the given prefix for all metrics emitted to the given MetricSink implementation.

Note that this client will discard errors encountered when sending metrics via the MetricBuilder::send() method.

No-op Example

use cadence::{StatsdClient, NopMetricSink};

let prefix = "my.stats";
let client = StatsdClient::from_sink(prefix, NopMetricSink);

UDP Socket Example

use std::net::UdpSocket;
use cadence::{StatsdClient, UdpMetricSink, DEFAULT_PORT};

let prefix = "my.stats";
let host = ("127.0.0.1", DEFAULT_PORT);

let socket = UdpSocket::bind("0.0.0.0:0").unwrap();
socket.set_nonblocking(true).unwrap();

let sink = UdpMetricSink::from(host, socket).unwrap();
let client = StatsdClient::from_sink(prefix, sink);

Buffered UDP Socket Example

use std::net::UdpSocket;
use cadence::{StatsdClient, BufferedUdpMetricSink, DEFAULT_PORT};

let prefix = "my.stats";
let host = ("127.0.0.1", DEFAULT_PORT);

let socket = UdpSocket::bind("0.0.0.0:0").unwrap();

let sink = BufferedUdpMetricSink::from(host, socket).unwrap();
let client = StatsdClient::from_sink(prefix, sink);

pub fn from_udp_host<A>(prefix: &str, host: A) -> MetricResult<Self>

where A: ToSocketAddrs,

👎Deprecated since 0.19.0: Superseded by ::from_sink() and ::builder()

Create a new client instance that will use the given prefix to send metrics to the given host over UDP using an appropriate sink.

The created UDP socket will be put into non-blocking mode.

Note that this client will discard errors encountered when sending metrics via the MetricBuilder::send() method.

Example

use cadence::{StatsdClient, UdpMetricSink};

let prefix = "my.stats";
let host = ("metrics.example.com", 8125);

let client = StatsdClient::from_udp_host(prefix, host);

Failures

This method may fail if:

• It is unable to create a local UDP socket.
• It is unable to put the UDP socket into non-blocking mode.
• It is unable to resolve the hostname of the metric server.
• The host address is otherwise unable to be parsed.

pub fn builder<T>(prefix: &str, sink: T) -> StatsdClientBuilder

where T: MetricSink + Sync + Send + RefUnwindSafe + 'static,

Create a new builder with the provided prefix and metric sink.

A prefix and a metric sink are required to create a new client instance. All other optional customizations can be set by calling methods on the returned builder. Any customizations that aren’t set by the caller will use defaults.

Note, though a metric prefix is required, you may pass an empty string as a prefix. In this case, the metrics emitted will use only the bare keys supplied when you call the various methods to emit metrics.

General defaults:

• A no-op error handler will be used by default. Note that this only affects errors encountered when using the MetricBuilder::send() method (as opposed to .try_send() or any other method for sending metrics).

Example

use cadence::prelude::*;
use cadence::{StatsdClient, MetricError, NopMetricSink};

fn my_handler(err: MetricError) {
    println!("Metric error: {}", err);
}

let client = StatsdClient::builder("some.prefix", NopMetricSink)
    .with_error_handler(my_handler)
    .build();

client.gauge_with_tags("some.key", 7)
   .with_tag("region", "us-west-1")
   .send();

pub fn flush_sink(&self)

Flush the sink and consume the error
