Description
The DataDogCounters class allows you to create performance counters that send their metrics to a DataDog service.
Configuration parameters
- connection(s):
- discovery_key: (optional) key to retrieve the connection from IDiscovery
 - protocol: (optional) connection protocol: http or https (default: https)
 - host: (optional) host name or IP address (default: api.datadoghq.com)
 - port: (optional) port number (default: 443)
 - uri: (optional) resource URI or connection string with all parameters in it
 
 - credential:
- access_key: DataDog client api key
 
 - options:
- retries: number of retries (default: 3)
 - connect_timeout: connection timeout in milliseconds (default: 10 sec)
 - timeout: invocation timeout in milliseconds (default: 10 sec)
 
 
References
- *:logger:*:*:1.0 - (optional) ILogger components to pass log messages
 - *:counters:*:*:1.0 - (optional) ICounters components to pass collected measurements
 - *:discovery:*:*:1.0 - (optional) IDiscovery services to resolve connections
 
Constructors
NewDataDogCounters
Creates a new instance of the class.
NewDataDogCounters() *DataDogCounters
Methods
Close
Closes a component and frees used resources.
(c *DataDogCounters) Close(ctx context.Context, correlationId string) error
- ctx: context.Context - operation context.
 - correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
 - returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.
 
Configure
Configures a component by passing its configuration parameters.
(c *DataDogCounters) Configure(ctx context.Context, config *ConfigParams)
- ctx: context.Context - operation context.
 - config: *ConfigParams - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
 
IsOpen
Checks if the component is open.
(c *DataDogCounters) IsOpen() bool
- returns: bool - true if the component has been opened and false otherwise.
 
Open
Opens the component.
(c *DataDogCounters) Open(ctx context.Context, correlationId string) error
- ctx: context.Context - operation context.
 - correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
 - returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.
 
Save
Saves the current counters' measurements.
(c *DataDogCounters) Save(ctx context.Context, counters []Counter) error
- ctx: context.Context - operation context.
 - counters: []Counter - current counters' measurements to be saved.
 - returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.
 
SetReferences
Sets references to dependent components.
(c *DataDogCounters) SetReferences(ctx context.Context, refs IReferences)
- ctx: context.Context - operation context.
 - references: IReferences - references to locate the component’s dependencies.
 
Examples
counters := NewDataDogCounters();
counters.Configure(context.Background(), NewConfigParamsFromTuples(
    "credential.access_key", "827349874395872349875493"
))
err := counters.Open(context.Background(), "123")
  ...
counters.Increment(context.Background(), "mycomponent.mymethod.calls")
timing := counters.BeginTiming(context.Background(), "mycomponent.mymethod.exec_time")
  ...
timing.EndTiming(context.Background())
counters.Dump(context.Background())
