StatsD Client

Small PHP client which pushes data over UDP to a stats.d server. Feature suggestions and feedback is always welcome.

Installation

1. Add this client to the dependencies
2. Configure StatsD
3. Register namespace
4. Register StatsD as a service

Add this client to the dependencies

Symfony 2.0

Add the following lines to your deps-file.

[StatsDClient]
    git=git://github.com/lino-dp/StatsDClient.git
    target=/statsd

Now, run the vendors script to download the client:

php bin/vendors install

Symfony 2.1

As this Client hasn't yet found its way into packagist you will have to register it as repository first. Register the git-repository by adding the following lines to your composer.json.

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "https://github.com/lino-dp/StatsDClient.git"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "php": "DigitalPioneers/StatsD-Client",
    }
}

Now, run the vendors script to download the client:

php composer.phar install

Configure StatsD

The Client needs to know where your StatsD is running. Add the following lines to your parameters.ini.

statsd.host = "<IP or Host of your stats.d Server, default 127.0.0.1>"
statsd.port = "<Port of your stats.d Server, default 8125>"

Register namespace

Symfony 2.0

Register the namespace StatsD in app/autoload.php.

$loader->registerNamespaces(
    array(
    	/// (...)
        'StatsD'                         => SYMFONY_VENDOR_PATH . '/statsd/src',
    	/// (...)
    ));

Symfony 2.1

Composer should've registered the namespace properly.

Register StatsD as a service

Now add the following lines to your config.yml and you are good to go.

services:
    statsd:
        class: StatsD\StatsD
        arguments: [%statsd.host%, %statsd.port%]

Usage

The StatsD Client is accessible as a service through the container. It offers various methods to manipulate your statistics.

Take a look at the following example to understand how to use the Client.

$statsd = $this->get('statsd');
$statsd->increment('mypage.visits');

For further informations on the functions offered take a look at the StatsD.php.
