statsd.connection

class statsd.connection.Connection(host=None, port=None, sample_rate=None)

Statsd Connection

Parameters:

• host – The statsd host to connect to, defaults to localhost
• port – The statsd port to connect to, defaults to 8125
• sample_rate – The sample rate, defaults to 1 (meaning always)

send(data, sample_rate=None)

Send the data over UDP while taking the sample_rate in account

The sample rate should be a number between 0 and 1 which indicates the probability that a message will be sent. The sample_rate is also communicated to statsd so it knows what multiplier to use.
