PHP StatsD Client
=================

[](#php-statsd-client)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/f9f1f7677802e65e417a4b4ea59a491e9f13c68191da43fbcc5b4f019d733ace/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f636c6173736d61726b6574732f7068702d7374617473642e706e67)](http://travis-ci.org/classmarkets/php-statsd)

This is a PHP [statsd](https://github.com/etsy/statsd.git) client based on [work by John Crepezzi](https://github.com/seejohnrun/php-statsd). We refactored the library into a composer module and opened the API a bit to improve flexibility.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer.json`

```
{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/classmarkets/php-statsd"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "classmarkets/statsd": "~1.0"
    }
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Gauges

[](#gauges)

```
$statsd = new \Classmarkets\Statsd;
$statsd->gauge("my.favorite.numbers", 73); // see what I did there?

```

### Counting

[](#counting)

To count things:

```
$statsd = new \Classmarkets\Statsd;
$statsd->count('sheep', 3);
```

### Timing

[](#timing)

Record timings:

```
$statsd = new \Classmarkets\Statsd;
$statsd->timing('critical.query', 18);
```

Timings are given in milliseconds, see

### Timing Closures

[](#timing-closures)

And a convenience mechanism for timing:

```
$statsd = new \Classmarkets\Statsd;
$statsd->timeThis('critical.query', function() use ($db) {
    $db->executeCriticalQuery();
});
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Host and Port

[](#host-and-port)

```
$statsd = new \Classmarkets\Statsd('localhost', 7000); // default localhost:8125
```

If called like this, Statsd will create a default UDP socket. For more control you can also pass a socket as the third argument:

```
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1);
$statsd = new \Classmarkets\Statsd('localhost', 7000, $socket); // default localhost:8125
```

### Sample Rate

[](#sample-rate)

Any of the methods descriped in the usage section can take an optional third argument `$rate`, which is the sample rate:

```
$statsd = new \Classmarkets\Statsd;
$stats->count('numpoints', 123, 0.1);
```

Changes to the original library
-------------------------------

[](#changes-to-the-original-library)

- **BC break** CodeIgniter support has been removed. We are not familiar with CI and thus can't guarantee for compatibility. Support may be re-added in the future.
- **BC break** `Statsd` has been moved to the `\Classmarkets` namespace.
- **BC break** Codestyle has been changed to PSR-1. `Statsd::time_this()` is now called `Statsd::timeThis()`.
- **BC break** `Statsd::counting()` has been renamed to `Statsd::count()` for consistency
- `Statsd::send()` is now `public`, allowing to send arbitrary messages to statsd, like sending a batch of newline separated messages in one go.
- Support for [gauges](https://github.com/etsy/statsd#gauges) and [sets](https://github.com/etsy/statsd#sets) has been added.
- All messages are sent over one socket per `Statsd` instance, instead of creating a new one for each message, giving a significant speed improvement when reusing the same instance.
- The constructor now accepts an optional socket as its third argument.
- All methods return the result of `socket_sendto()`, so client code can deal with errors if desired.
