Graphitesender

Graphitesender allow you to send metrics to any graphite server.

Installation

Graphitesender is available on pypi:

pip install graphitesender

Usage

Assuming your hostname is bob and your graphite instance is on example.com:

from graphitesend import GraphiteClient

client = GraphiteClient("example.com")
client.send("foo", 42)

This will send the metric systems.bob.foo with the value 42 and the current timestamp

Graphitesend

Graphitesender is a fork of graphitesend. This fork is here because with the author of graphitesend gone, there was no way to publish new versions.

A lot of things will change with this fork, but any breaking change will happen six months after its notice. Most often in the form of a deprecation.

Roadmap

• Formatter interface

  • Client can receive a formatter argument
  • This formatter must be a callable. It receives the metric name (eg. foo) and must return a formatted metric name (eg. systems.bob.foo)
  • Provide utilities to easily format metric names
  • Remove formatting arguments from Client

• Rework module functions, that should be simple proxies
• Isolate sending implementation to make it interchangeable
