Cadence Documentation

Macros Documentation

An extensible Statsd client for Rust!

Cadence is a fast and flexible way to emit Statsd metrics from your application.

Features

• Support for emitting counters, timers, histograms, distributions, gauges, meters, and sets to Statsd over UDP (or optionally Unix sockets).
• Support for alternate backends via the MetricSink trait.
• Support for Datadog style metrics tags.
• Macros to simplify common calls to emit metrics
• A simple yet flexible API for sending metrics.

Usage

An example of how to use Cadence for maximum performance is given below. For many more examples and advanced use cases, see the cadence crate or the documentation.

use std::net::UdpSocket;
use cadence::prelude::*;
use cadence::{StatsdClient, QueuingMetricSink, BufferedUdpMetricSink, DEFAULT_PORT};

let socket = UdpSocket::bind("0.0.0.0:0").unwrap();
socket.set_nonblocking(true).unwrap();

let host = ("metrics.example.com", DEFAULT_PORT);
let udp_sink = BufferedUdpMetricSink::from(host, socket).unwrap();
let queuing_sink = QueuingMetricSink::from(udp_sink);
let client = StatsdClient::from_sink("my.prefix", queuing_sink);

client.count("my.counter.thing", 29);
client.time("my.service.call", 214);

Project layout

The cadence crate contains the Statsd client and primary API of Cadence. The cadence-macros crate contains optional macros that can simplify use of the Cadence API.

• cadence: Statsd client and primary API
• cadence-macros: Optional convenience macros

Language Support

Cadence (latest master) supports building with a range of 1.60+ versions.

Guaranteed to Build

The latest version of Cadence is tested against and will always build correctly with

• The current stable version.
• The previous two stable versions, stable - 1 and stable - 2.

Best Effort Build

The latest version of Cadence is tested against and will usually build correctly with

• The next two oldest stable versions, stable - 3 and stable - 4.

Support for these versions may be dropped for a release in order to take advantage of a feature available in newer versions of Rust.
