Measured SignalFx Reporter

This package ties together measured-core and measured-reporting to create a dimensional aware self reporting metrics registry that reports metrics to SignalFx.

Install

npm install measured-signalfx-reporter

What is in this package

SignalFxMetricsReporter

A SignalFx specific implementation of the Reporter Abstract Class.

SignalFxSelfReportingMetricsRegistry

Extends Self Reporting Metrics Registry but overrides methods that generate Meters to use the NoOpMeter.

NoOpMeters

Please note that this package ignores Meters by default. Meters do not make sense to use with SignalFx because the same values can be calculated using simple counters and the aggregation functions available within SignalFx itself. Additionally, this saves you money because SignalFx charges based on your DPM (Datapoints per Minute) consumption.

This can be changed if anyone has a good argument for using Meters. Please file an issue.

Usage

Dev

There is a user acceptance test server to test this library end-to-end with SignalFx.
