graphite-golang
This is a lightweight Graphite API client written in Go that implements Carbon submission functionality. I wrote this a long time ago as a dependency for a side project a long time ago. You shouldn't rely on this for any production use-case.
Installation
Use go-get to install graphite-golang
go get github.com/marpaia/graphite-golang
External dependencies
This project has no external dependencies other than the Go standard library.
Documentation
Like most every other Golang project, this projects documentation can be found on godoc at godoc.org/github.com/marpaia/graphite-golang.
Examples
package mylib
import (
"github.com/marpaia/graphite-golang"
"log"
)
func init() {
// load your configuration file / mechanism
config := newConfig()
// try to connect a graphite server
if config.GraphiteEnabled {
Graphite, err = graphite.NewGraphite(config.Graphite.Host, config.Graphite.Port)
} else {
Graphite = graphite.NewGraphiteNop(config.Graphite.Host, config.Graphite.Port)
}
// if you couldn't connect to graphite, use a nop
if err != nil {
Graphite = graphite.NewGraphiteNop(config.Graphite.Host, config.Graphite.Port)
}
log.Printf("Loaded Graphite connection: %#v", Graphite)
Graphite.SimpleSend("stats.graphite_loaded", "1")
}
func doWork() {
// this will work just fine, regardless of if you're working with a graphite
// nop or not
Graphite.SimpleSend("stats.doing_work", "1")
}
