Pup is waiting for data…

To send data to Pup:

• 1. Install the Datadog agent.

• 2. Instrument your Python or Ruby code with dogstatsd

  Python

  If you haven't already, install the library

  $ sudo easy_install dogstatsd-python

  Import the library in the code of your choice

  # Here's an example
  from statsd import statsd
  
  def render_home_page(user_id):
    """ Render the home page for the given user. """
  
    user = user_cache.get(user_id)
    if user:
      statsd.increment("user.cache_hit")
    else: statsd.increment("user.cache_miss")

  Run your code, and voilà! Metrics should be appearing any second now.

  Ruby

  If you haven't already, install the dogstatsd-ruby gem

  $ gem install dogstatsd-ruby

  Require the gem in the code of your choice

  # Here's an example in Ruby
  require 'statsd'
  require 'sinatra'
  
  statsd = Statsd.new()
  
  get '/' do
    statsd.increment('page hits (per ten seconds)')
    erb :index
  end
  

  Whabam! Insight. Note: The "." separator indicates to Pup to group metrics under a namespace defined by what's left of the first "." in the metric name.
