Statsd Client

A C# client to interface with Etsy's excellent statsd server.

Install the client via NuGet with the StatsdClient package.

##Usage

At app startup, configure the Metrics class (other options are documented on MetricsConfig):

Metrics.Configure(new MetricsConfig
{
  StatsdServerName = "hostname",
  Prefix = "myApp.prod"
});

Then start measuring all the things!

Metrics.Counter("stat-name");
Metrics.Time(() => myMethod(), "stat-name"));
Metrics.GaugeAbsolute("gauge-name", 35);
Metrics.GaugeDelta("gauge-name", -5);
Metrics.Set("something-special", "3");

You can also time with the disposable overload:

using (Metrics.StartTimer("stat-name"))
{
  // Lots of code here
}

Including functions that return a value:

var result = Metrics.Time(() => GetResult(), "stat-name");
