StatsD Client

Installation

1. Install the bundle using composer:

   $ composer require nti/metrics-bundle "dev-master"

2. Add the bundle configuration to the AppKernel

   public function registerBundles()
   {
       $bundles = array(
           ...
           new NTI\MetricsBundle\NTIMetricsBundle(),
           ...
       );
   }

3. Setup the configuration in the config.yml

# NTI Metrics
nti_metrics:
    host: "statsDserver" # default: localhost
    port: 8125           # default: 8125
    prefix: "greenlink." # default: ""

Usage

1. Get the Metrics Client service

$collector = $container->get('nti.metrics');

The following methods are available for send metrics:

$collector->increment('glbs.email.send');            # Same as send "glbs.email.send:1|c"
$collector->decrement('glbs.email.send');            # Same as send "glbs.email.send:-1|c"

To send the values to statsD server you have to call the following method:

$collector->flush();
