Metrics Reporting Helper

A thin wrapper around go-metrics that streamlines setup and a few common uses (tracking event rates and timings) and exports to graphite.

Usage

  r := report.NewRecorder().ReportTo("graphite-collector:2170", "foobar.baz")
  r.Inc("request")
  r.Time("handler", 5*time.Second)

Default Recorder

Alternately, rather than pass around a Recorder instance, you can also set a configured Recorder as the default during startup, then use helpers elsewhere that just report to the default recorder.

  report.NewRecorder().ReportTo("graphite-collector:2170", "foobar.baz").SetAsDefault()
  ...
  report.Inc("request")
  report.Time("handler", 5*time.Second)
