StatsD Client Adapter
=====================

[](#statsd-client-adapter)

This package was originally designed to solve the problem of:

- I use DataDog on production, but
- I don't want to push stats to DataDog on my dev or test environments

Where might I want to push those precious stats? Maybe to a log? Maybe to a locally running [StatsD server](https://github.com/statsd/statsd)? What if in my unit tests, I want to confirm that logs are being pushed, but not go through the hassle of an integration test set up that configures the StatsD server?

While [PHP League's statsd package](https://github.com/thephpleague/statsd) is great, it doesn't allow for sending DataDog specific stats (such as [histogram](https://docs.datadoghq.com/metrics/types/?tab=histogram) or [distribution](https://docs.datadoghq.com/metrics/types/?tab=distribution)). Nor does the DataDog client allow for pushing to another StatsD implementation easily.

The aim here is to allow for a single interface that can wrap around both, and be easily extended for different implementations.

If you would like to use this library in Laravel, check out [laravel-statsd-adapter](https://github.com/cosmastech/laravel-statsd-adapter).

Adapters
--------

[](#adapters)

### InMemoryClientAdapter

[](#inmemoryclientadapter)

This adapter simply records your stats in an object in memory. This is best served as a way to verify stats are recorded in your unit tests.

See [examples/in\_memory.php](examples/in_memory.php) for how you might implement this.

### DataDogStatsDClientAdapter

[](#datadogstatsdclientadapter)

This is a wrapper around DataDog's [php-datadogstatsd](https://github.com/dataDog/php-datadogstatsd/) client.

If you wish to use this adapter, please make sure you install the php-datadogstatsd client.

```
composer require datadog/php-datadogstatsd
```

For specifics on their configuration, see the [official DogStatsD documentation](https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/dogstatsd/?code-lang=php&tab=hostagent#client-instantiation-parameters).

See [examples/datadog.php](examples/datadog.php) for how you might implement this.

### DatadogLoggingClient

[](#datadogloggingclient)

Envisioned as a client for local development, this adapter writes to a class which implements the [psr-logger interface](https://packagist.org/packages/psr/log). You can find a [list](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/log-implementation) of packages that implement the interface on packagist. If you are using a framework like Symfony or Laravel, then you already have one of the most popular and reliable implementations installed: [monolog/monolog](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog).

For a local development setup, you could just write the stats to a log. This writes the format exactly as it would be sent to DataDog.

See [examples/log\_datadog.php](examples/log_datadog.php) for how you might implement this.

### ExceptionCatchingDatadogClient

[](#exceptioncatchingdatadogclient)

This client will allow handling exceptions thrown when attempting to write data to DataDog.

See [examples/safe\_datadog.php](examples/safe_datadog.php) for how to use this client.

### LeagueStatsDClientAdapter

[](#leaguestatsdclientadapter)

You can also write to an arbitrary statsd server by leveraging [PHP League's statsd package](https://github.com/thephpleague/statsd).

First ensure that the package has been installed.

```
composer require league/statsd
```

For information on how to configure Client, [read their documentation](https://github.com/thephpleague/statsd?tab=readme-ov-file#configuring).

**Note** the `histogram()` and `distribution()` methods are both no-op by default, as they are not available on statsd.

See [examples/league.php](examples/league.php) for how you might implement this.

Gotchas
-------

[](#gotchas)

1. Only increment/decrement on DataDog's implementation allow for including the sample rate. If you are using a sample rate with other calls, their sample rate will not be included as part of the stat.
2. There are `histogram()` and `distribution()` methods on `LeagueStatsDClientAdapter`, but they will not be sent to statsd.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```
