Struct cadence::MetricBuilder

#[must_use = "Did you forget to call .send() after adding tags?"]
pub struct MetricBuilder<'m, 'c, T> where
    T: Metric + From<String>,  { /* fields omitted */ }

Builder for adding tags to in-progress metrics.

This builder adds tags, key-value pairs or just values, to a metric that was previously constructed by a call to a method on StatsdClient. The tags are added to metrics and sent via the client when MetricBuilder::send() is invoked. Any errors countered constructing, validating, or sending the metrics will be propagated and returned when the .send() method is finally invoked.

Currently, only Datadog style tags are supported. For more information on the exact format used, see the Datadog docs.

Adding tags to a metric via this builder will typically result in one or more extra heap allocations.

NOTE: The only way to instantiate an instance of this builder is via methods in in the StatsdClient client.

Example

An example of how the metric builder is used with a StatsdClient instance is given below.

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

let client = StatsdClient::from_sink("some.prefix", NopMetricSink);
let res = client.incr_with_tags("some.key")
   .with_tag("host", "app11.example.com")
   .with_tag("segment", "23")
   .with_tag_value("beta")
   .try_send();

assert_eq!(
    concat!(
        "some.prefix.some.key:1|c|#",
        "host:app11.example.com,",
        "segment:23,",
        "beta"
    ),
    res.unwrap().as_metric_str()
);

In this example, two key-value tags and one value tag are added to the metric before it is finally sent to the Statsd server.

Methods

impl<'m, 'c, T> MetricBuilder<'m, 'c, T> where     T: Metric + From<String>,

pub fn with_tag(self, key: &'m str, value: &'m str) -> Self

Add a key-value tag to this metric.

Example

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

let client = StatsdClient::from_sink("some.prefix", NopMetricSink);
let res = client.incr_with_tags("some.key")
   .with_tag("user", "authenticated")
   .try_send();

assert_eq!(
   "some.prefix.some.key:1|c|#user:authenticated",
   res.unwrap().as_metric_str()
);

pub fn with_tag_value(self, value: &'m str) -> Self

Add a value tag to this metric.

Example

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

let client = StatsdClient::from_sink("some.prefix", NopMetricSink);
let res = client.count_with_tags("some.key", 4)
   .with_tag_value("beta-testing")
   .try_send();

assert_eq!(
   "some.prefix.some.key:4|c|#beta-testing",
   res.unwrap().as_metric_str()
);

pub fn try_send(self) -> MetricResult<T>

Send a metric using the client that created this builder.

Note that the builder is consumed by this method and thus .try_send() can only be called a single time per builder.

Example

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

let client = StatsdClient::from_sink("some.prefix", NopMetricSink);
let res = client.gauge_with_tags("some.key", 7)
   .with_tag("test-segment", "12345")
   .try_send();

assert_eq!(
   "some.prefix.some.key:7|g|#test-segment:12345",
   res.unwrap().as_metric_str()
);

pub fn send(self)

Send a metric using the client that created this builder, discarding successful results and invoking a custom handler for error results.

By default, if no handler is given, a "no-op" handler is used that simply discards all errors. If this isn't desired, a custom handler should be supplied when creating a new StatsdClient instance.

Note that the builder is consumed by this method and thus .send() can only be called a single time per builder.

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();
