Metricz
Metricz makes it easy to write metrics to a Kairosdb instance running with OAuth2 security.
Features
- OAuth2 support.
- Option to batch write metrics at a later time.
Usage
To simply write a metric:
from metricz import MetricWriter
mw = MetricWriter(directory='/path/to/credentials/dir)
mw.write_metric('some.metric.name', 123, {'some': 'tag'})To write a metric with a custom timestamp:
import datetime
# Make sure this is in UTC.
timestamp = datetime.datetime(1981, 10, 26, 6, 24)
mw.write_metric('some.metric.name', 34, {'some': 'tag'}, timestamp)To batch write metrics:
# These are NOT written directly.
mw.defer_metric('some.metric.name', 42, {'some': 'tag'})
mw.defer_metric('some.other.metric.name', 64, {'some': 'tag'})
mw.defer_metric('some.other.metric.name', 64, {'some': 'tag'})
# Write all deferred metrics at once.
mw.write_deferred()TODO
- Retry on failure.
- Look at non-blocking options to write.
