Utilities for collecting metrics in a Rails Application

This gem provides utilities for collecting and reporting metrics in a Rails Application. This gem uses metriks.

The first category of utilities is Reporters.

Reporters

Reporters are available for OpenTSDB, SignalFX and AWS Cloudwatch. The design is heavily inspired by [Librato Reporter] (https://github.com/eric/metriks-librato_metrics)

OpenTSDBReporter

  reporter = Metriks::OpenTSDBReporter.new(host, tags, options)
  reporter.start

1. host: hostname of OpenTSDB
2. tags: A hash of tags that should be associated with every metric.
3. options: A hash to control behavior of the reporter. Valid options are:

SignalFXReporter

  reporter = Metriks::SignalFXReporter.new(token, tags, options = {})
  reporter.start

1. token: Token provided by SignalFX
2. tags: A hash of tags that should be associated with every metric.

CloudWatchReporter

  reporter = Metriks::CloudWatchReporter.new((access_key, secret_key, namespace, tags, options = {}))
  reporter.start

1. access_key: Access Key provided by AWS
2. secret_key: Secret Key provided by AWS
3. namespace: AWS CloudWatch namespace of the metric
4. tags: A hash of tags that should be associated with every metric.

Options

All reporters accept a hash of options. Options are used to control the behavior of the reporter.

batch_size	Number of metrics to report in a API call (50)
