sprockets.mixins.metrics

Adjust counter and timer metrics in StatsD using the same API.

The mix-in is configured through the tornado.web.Application settings property using a key defined by the specific mix-in.

Deprecation Notice

This library is deprecated. It will not receive features or bug fixes. Please switch to either sprockets-influxdb or sprockets-statsd.

Statsd Mixin

The following snippet configures the StatsD mix-in from common environment variables. This simple handler will emit a timer metric that identifies each call to the get method as well as a separate metric for the database query.

import os

from sprockets.mixins import mediatype
from sprockets.mixins.metrics import statsd
from tornado import web
import queries

def make_application():
    application = web.Application([
        web.url(r'/', MyHandler),
    ], **settings)

    statsd.install({'namespace': 'my-application',
                    'host': os.environ.get('STATSD_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
                    'port': os.environ.get('STATSD_PORT', '8125')})
    return application

class MyHandler(statsd.StatsdMixin,
                mediatype.ContentMixin,
                web.RequestHandler):

    def initialize(self):
        super(MyHandler, self).initialize()
        self.db = queries.TornadoSession(os.environ['MY_PGSQL_DSN'])

    async def get(self, obj_id):
        with self.execution_timer('dbquery', 'get'):
           result = await self.db.query('SELECT * FROM foo WHERE id=%s',
                                        obj_id)
        self.send_response(result)

Settings

namespace:	The namespace for the measurements
host:	The Statsd host
port:	The Statsd port
prepend_metric_type:	Optional flag to prepend bucket path with the StatsD metric type
