NAME

Plack::Middleware::Statsd - send statistics to statsd

VERSION

version v0.1.0

SYNOPSIS

use Plack::Builder;
use Net::Statsd::Client;

builder {

  enable "Statsd",
    client      => Net::Statsd::Client->new( ... ),
    sample_rate => 1.0;

  ...

  sub {
    my ($env) = @_;

    # Send statistics via other middleware

    if (my $stats = $env->{'psgix.monitor.statsd'}) {

      $stats->increment('myapp.wibble');

    }


  };

};

DESCRIPTION

This middleware gathers metrics from the application send sends them to a statsd server.

ATTRIBUTES

client

This is a statsd client, such as an Net::Statsd::Client object.

If one is omitted, then it will default to one defined in the environment hash at psgix.monitor.statsd.

psgix.monitor.statsd will be set to the current client if it is not set.

The only restriction on the client is that it has the same API as Net::Statsd::Client by supporting the following methods:

• update
• increment
• decrement
• timing_ms
• set_add

Other statsd client modules may be used via a wrapper class.

sample_rate

The default sampling rate to used. This will override the default rate of the "client".

It defaults to 1.

METRICS

The following metrics are logged:

• psgi.request.method.$METHOD

  This increments a counter for the request method.

• psgi.request.remote_addr

  The remote address is added to the set.

• psgi.request.content-length

  The content-length of the request, if it is specified in the header.

  This is treated as a timing rather than a counter, so that statistics can be saved.

• psgi.response.content-length

  The content-length of the response, if it is specified in the header.

  This is treated as a timing rather than a counter, so that statistics can be saved.

• psgi.response.content-type.$TYPE.$SUBTYPE

  A counter for the content type is incremented, e.g. for a JPEG image, the counter psgi.response.content-type.image.jpeg is incremented.

• psgi.response.status.$CODE

  A counter for the HTTP status code is incremented.

• psgi.response.time

  The response time, in ms (rounded up using ceil).

If you want to rename these, then you will need to use a wrapper class.
