module OpenCensus::Stats::Exporters
The Exporters
module provides integrations for exporting collected stats to an external or local service. Exporter classes may be put inside this module, but are not required to be located here.
An exporter is an object that must respond to the following method:
def export(views_data)
Where `views_data` is an array of {OpenCensus::Stats::ViewData} objects to export.
The method return value is not defined.
The exporter object may interpret the `export` message in whatever way it deems appropriate. For example, it may write the data to a log file, it may transmit it to a monitoring service, or it may do nothing at all. An exporter may also queue the request for later asynchronous processing, and indeed this is recommended if the export involves time consuming operations such as remote API calls.
