Create a StatsClient and provide it to the provided function. The StatsClient will be finalized as soon as the inner block is exited, whether normally or via an exception.

Create a stats client. Be sure to close it with finalizeStatsClient in order to send any pending stats and close the underlying handle when done using it. Alternatively, use withDogStatsD to finalize it automatically.

Send all pending unsent events and close the connection to the specified statsd server.

Send a Metric, Event, or StatusCheck to the DogStatsD server.

Since UDP is used to send the events, there is no ack that sent values are successfully dealt with.

withDogStatsD defaultSettings $ \client -> do
  send client $ event "Wombat attack" "A host of mighty wombats has breached the gates"
  send client $ metric "wombat.force_count" Gauge (9001 :: Int)
  send client $ serviceCheck "Wombat Radar" ServiceOk

Smart Metric constructor. Use the lens functions to set the optional fields.

Metric

The fields accessible through corresponding lenses are:

• name :: MetricName
• sampleRate :: Double
• type' :: MetricType
• value :: ToMetricValue a => a
• tags :: [Tag]

Smart Event constructor. Use the lens functions to set the optional fields.

Event

The fields accessible through corresponding lenses are:

• title :: Text
• text :: Text
• dateHappened :: Maybe UTCTime
• hostname :: Maybe Text
• aggregationKey :: Maybe Text
• priority :: Maybe Priority
• sourceTypeName :: Maybe Text
• alertType :: Maybe AlertType
• tags :: [Tag]

ServiceCheck

The fields accessible through corresponding lenses are:

• name :: Text
• status :: ServiceCheckStatus
• message :: Maybe Text
• dateHappened :: Maybe UTCTime
• hostname :: Maybe Text
• tags :: [Tag]

Convert an Event, Metric, or StatusCheck to their wire format.

Tags are a Datadog specific extension to StatsD. They allow you to tag a metric with a dimension that’s meaningful to you and slice and dice along that dimension in your graphs. For example, if you wanted to measure the performance of two video rendering algorithms, you could tag the rendering time metric with the version of the algorithm you used.

Create a tag from a key-value pair. Useful for slicing and dicing events in Datadog.

Key and value text values are normalized by converting ":"s, "|"s, and "@"s to underscores ("_").

Converts a supported numeric type to the format understood by DogStatsD. Currently limited by BufferBuilder encoding options.

Special setter to update the value of a Metric.

metric ("foo"" :: Text) Counter (1 :: Int) & value .~ (5 :: Double)

Note that Dummy is not the only constructor, just the only publicly available one.
