NAME

Net::Graphite - Interface to Graphite

SYNOPSIS

 use Net::Graphite;
 my $graphite = Net::Graphite->new(
     # except for host, these hopefully have reasonable defaults, so are optional
     host => '127.0.0.1',
     port => 2003,
     trace => 0,            # if true, copy what's sent to STDERR
     proto => 'tcp',        # can be 'udp'
     timeout => 1,          # timeout of socket connect in seconds
     fire_and_forget => 0,  # if true, ignore sending errors

     path => 'foo.bar.baz', # optional, use when sending single values
 );

 # send a single value,
 # need to set path in the call to new
 # or call $graphite->path('some.path') beforehand
 $graphite->send(6);        # default time is "now"

-OR-

 # send a metric with named parameters
 $graphite->send(
     path => 'foo.bar.baz',
     value => 6,
     time => time(),        # time defaults to "now"
 );

-OR-

 # send text with one line per metric, following the plaintext protocol
 $graphite->send(plaintext => $string_with_one_line_per_metric);

DESCRIPTION

Interface to Graphite which doesn't depend on AnyEvent.

INSTANCE METHODS

close

Explicitly close the socket to the graphite server. Not normally needed, because the socket will close when the $graphite object goes out of scope.

connect

Get an open a socket to the graphite server, either the currently connected one or, if not already connected, a new one. Not normally needed.

path

Set the default path (corresponds to 'path' argument to new), for use when sending single values.

send

Normally all you need to use. See the SYNOPSIS.
