DESCRIPTION

DataDog::DogStatsd::Helper is a helper for DataDog::DogStatsd. It's main purpose is to maintain a global DataDog::DogStatsd object.

FUNCTIONS

For all the functions below, $what is the name of a metric sent to datadog. \%opts is a hash reference which can contain a key tags pointing to an array of tags sent to datadog along with the metric and a key sample_rate with a number between 0 and 1 as value. See https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/metrics/dogstatsd_metrics_submission/#sample-rates for more information on sample rates.

stats_inc $what, \%opts

equivalent to $dogstatsd->increment($what, \%opts)

stats_inc $what, $sample_rate

equivalent to $dogstatsd->increment($what, +{sample_rate=>$sample_rate})

stats_dec $what, \%opts

equivalent to $dogstatsd->decrement($what, \%opts)

stats_timing $what $millisec, \%opts

equivalent to $dogstatsd->timing($what, $millisec, \%opts)

stats_timing $what $millisec, $sample_rate

equivalent to $dogstatsd->timing($what, $millisec, +{sample_rate=>$sample_rate})

Note, $millisec will be truncated to an integer value.

stats_gauge $what, $measured_value, \%opts

equivalent to $dogstatsd->gauge($what, $measured_value, \%opts)

stats_count $what, $increment, \%opts

equivalent to $dogstatsd->count($what, $increment, \%opts)

stats_histogram $what, $measured_value, \%opts

equivalent to $dogstatsd->histogram($what, $measured_value, \%opts)

stats_event $title, $text, \%opts

equivalent to $dogstatsd->event($what, $title, $text, \%opts)

Naturally, sample_rate does not make sense in \%opts. $opts{tags} is processed as usual. Besides that, the %opts hash can contain the following optional keys:

date_happened

hostname

aggregation_key

priority

source_type_name

alert_type

For more information see https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/events/dogstatsd/

stats_timed {BLOCK} $what, \%opts, @other_params

this offers a somewhat more convenient interface to timing a piece of code. It's supposed to be called like this:

 my $value = stats_timed {
     # timed piece of code
     my ($p1, $p2, ...) = @_;
     ...
 } $what, {tags => \@tags}, $param1, $param2, ...;

Before the code block is executed the current time is taken with Time::HiRes::gettimeofday. Then the code block is executed in an eval environment. If no exception is thrown the time is reported the same way stats_timing does. If the code block ends in an exception, the $what.failure metric is incremented passing the same tags.

If called in scalar context, the code block is also called in scalar context and the resulting value is returned.

If called in list context, the code block is also called in list context and the resulting list is returned.

If called in void context, the code block is also called in void context.

DataDog::DogStatsd::Helper->get_dogstatsd

returns the internal DataDog::DogStatsd object. This can be used to modify certain parameters like the namespace.

This function is not exported. It can be called both as function and as class method.

DataDog::DogStatsd::Helper->set_dogstatsd(DataDog::DogStatsd->new)

allows to set the internal DataDog::DogStatsd object. Useful mainly for testing.

This function is not exported. It can be called both as function and as class method.
