statsd-php-client is an Open Source, and Object Oriented Client for etsy/statsd written in php

Install with composer

composer require liuggio/statsd-php-client

Simple Usage

$statsd = new StatsdService();

$service->timing('usageTime', 100);
$service->increment('visitor');
$service->decrement('click');
$service->gauge('gaugor', 333);
$service->set('uniques', 765);

$service->flush();

Why use this library instead the statsd/php-example?

• You are wise.

• You could also use monolog to redirect data to statsd

• This library is tested.

• This library optimizes the messages to send, compressing multiple messages in individual UDP packets.

• This library pays attention to the maximum length of the UDP.

• This library is made by Objects not array, but it also accepts array.

• You do want to debug the packets, and using SysLogSender the packets will be logged in your syslog log (on debian-like distro: tail -f /var/log/syslog)

Advanced Instantiation

use Liuggio\StatsdClient\StatsdClient,
    Liuggio\StatsdClient\Factory\StatsdDataFactory,
    Liuggio\StatsdClient\Sender\SocketSender,
    Liuggio\StatsdClient\Service\StatsdService;
// use Liuggio\StatsdClient\Sender\SysLogSender;

$sender = new SocketSender(/*'localhost', 8126, 'udp'*/);
// $sender = new SysLogSender(); // enabling this, the packet will not send over the socket

$client  = new StatsdClient($sender);
$factory = new StatsdDataFactory('\Liuggio\StatsdClient\Entity\StatsdData');
$service = new StatsdService($client, $factory);

// create the metrics with the service
$service->timing('usageTime', 100);

//...

// send the data to statsd
$service->flush();

Usage with Monolog

use Liuggio\StatsdClient\StatsdClient,
    Liuggio\StatsdClient\Factory\StatsdDataFactory,
    Liuggio\StatsdClient\Sender\SocketSender;
// use Liuggio\StatsdClient\Sender\SysLogSender;

use Monolog\Logger;
use Liuggio\StatsdClient\Monolog\Handler\StatsDHandler;

$sender = new SocketSender(/*'localhost', 8126, 'udp'*/);
// $sender = new SysLogSender(); // enabling this, the packet will not send over the socket
$client = new StatsdClient($sender);
$factory = new StatsdDataFactory();

$logger = new Logger('my_logger');
$logger->pushHandler(new StatsDHandler($client, $factory, 'prefix', Logger::DEBUG));

$logger->addInfo('My logger is now ready');

the output will be: prefix.my_logger.INFO.My-logger:1|c" 36 Bytes

Short Theory

Easily Install StatSD and Graphite

In order to try this application monitor you have to install etsy/statsd and Graphite

see this blog post to install it with vagrant Easy install statsd graphite.
