Stats

Requires the redis gem.

Easily keep track of vital stats using Redis.

Usage

There are currently three types of statistics that Stats captures:

Simple stats are meant to be updated periodically. Only the latest value is kept.

Stats.set("load", System.load)

Counts can be incremented and decremented. Only the latest value is kept.

Stats.incr("downloads")

Timings are used to keep track of the time it takes to run a block. All values are kept so that they can be graphed/analyzed.

Stats.time("archive") { file.archive }

By default, the Redis server at redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0 will be used. You can set it by either specifying a url or a Redis instance.

Stats.redis = "redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0"

Stats.redis = redis_instance

The current Redis instance can also be accessed.

puts Stats.redis.info

$ gem install stats
