# DEPRECATED

Old code.

This is a simple bundle that creates a statsd service that you can use to send counters via statsd to graphite.

It is based on the example statsd client found in the statd package: https://github.com/etsy/statsd

Statsd is a network daemon for aggregating statistics (counters and timers), rolling them up, then sending them to [graphite][graphite].

([Etsy][etsy]) [blogged][blog post] about how it works and why they created it

Add to deps:

[SMStatsDBundle]
    git=git://github.com:tarjei/StatsDBundle.git
    target=/bundles/SM/StatsDBundle

Then register the bundle with your kernel:

// app/AppKernel.php
// in AppKernel::registerBundles()
$bundles = array(
    // ...
    new SM\StatsDBundle\SMStatsDBundle(),
    // ...
);

Make sure that you also register the namespaces with the autoloader:

// app/autoload.php
$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // ...
    'SM\\StatsDBundle' => __DIR__ . '/../vendor/bundles',
));

The plugin expects statsd to be running localy

In your prod/dev environment:

# app/config/config.yml
statsd:
    host:
    port:

Defaults:

statsd:
    host: localhost
    port: 8125
    noop: false

The noop option is if you want the client to be called but not send a signal or connect to statsd.

Sample usage:

// MyController.com
$stats = $this->get('statsd');
$stats->increment("users");
$stats->timing("querytime", $time)

For more info see the StatsD.php file.

• Add loggingservice into the mix
• Consider how we should handle empty stats
• better example
