graphite/carbon udp client for sending metrics

Carbon Client

Client for sending metrics into carbon server

Initialization

By default carbon-client creates a client based on os.environ variables:

• CARBON_HOST - Contains one or many endpoints (e.g "127.0.0.1:2003, 10.2.1.0:2003")
• CARBON_NS - it's a namespace for sending metrics (e.g. "carbon.coal-service")

Actually you can configure this by hands.

Example

The simple test :

# You should set ENV variables CARBON_HOST and CARBON_NS
# CARBON_HOST might contains multiple destinations (comma separated)
from time import sleep
from carbon.client import stat
from carbon.client.extras import SimpleCounter

# Will be pended one or two metrics
# carbon_client.counter_ok
# carbon_client.counter_fail - if exception will be raised
# carbon_client is namespace by default.
with SimpleCounter("counter"):
    sleep(1)

# Will be pended one metric
# carbon_client.timer_ok - if exception will be raised
# carbon_client.timer_fail - if exception will be raised
# carbon_client is namespace by default.
with SimpleTimer("timer"):
    sleep(1)

# Will be pended n metric
# carbon_client.collector
# carbon_client is namespace by default.
with SimpleCollector("collector") as collector:
    collector.add(123)
    collector.add(122)
    collector.add(-10)

# all metrics will sent.
stat.send()

The advanced test :

from time import sleep
from carbon.client import UDPClient
from carbon.client.extras import SimpleCounter, SimpleTimer, SimpleCollector

# Will be send to multiple destinations
client = UDPClient("127.0.0.1, 191.168.1.11:2003", "test")

with SimpleCounter("counter", client):
    sleep(1)

with SimpleTimer("timer", client):
    sleep(1)

with SimpleCollector("collector", client) as collector:
    collector.add(123)

client.send()

Another test :

from time import sleep
from carbon.client import stat
from carbon.client import metrics

# Counter
stat['counter'] = metrics.Counter
stat['counter'].inc(1)
sleep(1)
stat['counter'].dec(1)

# Timer
stat['timer'] = metrics.Timer
stop_watch = stat['timer'].start()
sleep(1)
stat['timer'].stop(stop_watch)

# Collector
stat['collector'] = metrics.Collector
stat['collector'].add(1)
sleep(1)
stat['collector'].add(2)
sleep(1)
stat['collector'].add(3)
sleep(1)
stat['collector'].add(-10)

stat.send()

carbon-client's Issues

Please release 0.1.1 to pypi

Since #1 was a bug fix, bumping the patch-level should be sufficient.
