# 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).
