StatsD for PHP

It'a minimalistic implementation of a StatsD client in PHP

Features

• Lightweight (100 LoC approx)
• Common functions : Increment, Decrement, Counter, Timer
• Callback profiler
• Handles rates (avoid sending too much data to the server)
• Handles namespacing
• Regroups UDP packets (send 20 measures at once)
• Can avoids class autoload when it's configured
• Easy to install with composer (or your custom loading system - needs just 1 file)

Usage

<?phprequire_once'statsd.php';
statsd::$host = 'localhost';
statsd::profile(
'test',
function() {
for($i = 0; $i = 10; $i ++ ) {
statsd::increment('a');
statsd::increment('b');
}
for($i = 0; $i = 5; $i ++ ) {
statsd::decrement('b');
}
statsd::count('hello', 10);
statsd::time('duration', 50);
}
);
