$ make
application:start(statsderl).
statsderl:increment("test.increment", 1, 0.5).
statsderl:decrement("test.decrement", 1, 0.5).
statsderl:timing("test.timing", 5, 0.5).
Timestamp = erlang:now(),
statsderl:timing_now("test.timing", Timestamp, 0.5).
statsderl:gauge("test.gauge", 333, 1.0).
For multi-node setups, it might be useful to be able to define a basic key based on the current node name, for example. Statsderl supports doing so by setting the app variable base_key to some iolist:
application:set_env(statsderl, base_key, "my_node_name")
No need to split the keys -- the . as a separator is added automatically.
