Tracking your results with StatsD

TL;DR - Oma::Stats gets mixed into a class.

  • Once you do, you can call stats_event, and other methods and it will send StatsD events.

  • The namespace of these calls will be oma(oma-processor/oma-models).production.class.name

  • You can all Oma::Stats.stats_event and it will NOT be prefixed by the class name. You use these for general counters across classes.

  • Use Graphite to plot it, and make an administrative panel for it.

Best practices on naming your statsd event: Try to name with "namespace.some_specific_identifier.item_tracked". When you namespace things 5 or 6 "dots" deep, you can't easily build a chart that tracks all your items in one chart (which is super helpful for troubleshooting).
