StatsD HTTP Proxy

StatsD HTTP proxy with REST interface for using in browsers.

Sample code to send metric in browser with JWT token in header:

$.ajax({
    url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/count/some.key.name',
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'X-JWT-Token': 'some-jwt-token'
    },
    data: {
        value: 100500
    }
});

Supported metrics

For the general reference see https://www.librato.com/docs/kb/collect/collection_agents/stastd/#

All metrics accept tags as comma-separated key=value pairs (InfluxDB tag format):

data: {
    value: 100500,
    tags: 'env=prod,locale=en-us'
}

count

Adds count to the bucket. Expected n as integer. By default n is 0.

incr

Increments the given bucket. It is equivalent to count with n default to 1.

gauge

Sets the gauge metric. Expected value as integer. Before setting negative gauge, it needs to be set to 0.

timing

Adds timing to the bucket. Expected dur as milliseconds integer. Default is 0.

uniq

Adds unique value in a set bucket. Expected value as string. Sets are a relatively new concept in recent versions of StatsD. Sets track the number of unique elements belonging to a group. At each flush interval, the statsd backend will push the number of unique elements in the set as a single gauge value.
