stathat
This is a Go package for posting stats to your StatHat account.
For more information about StatHat, visit www.stathat.com.
Installation
Use go get:
go get github.com/stathat/go
That's it.
Import it like this:
import (
"github.com/stathat/go"
)
Usage
The easiest way to use the package is with the EZ API functions. You can add stats directly in your code by just adding a call with a new stat name. Once StatHat receives the call, a new stat will be created for you.
To post a count of 1 to a stat:
stathat.PostEZCountOne("messages sent - female to male", "[email protected]")
To specify the count:
stathat.PostEZCount("messages sent - male to male", "[email protected]", 37)
To post a value:
stathat.PostEZValue("ws0 load average", "[email protected]", 0.372)
There are also functions for the classic API. The drawback to the classic API is that you need to create the stats using the web interface and copy the keys it gives you into your code.
To post a count of 1 to a stat using the classic API:
stathat.PostCountOne("statkey", "userkey")
To specify the count:
stathat.PostCount("statkey", "userkey", 37)
To post a value:
stathat.PostValue("statkey", "userkey", 0.372)
