# resque-statsd
Resque
Statsd is a Resque
plugin that will collect and send data samples from your Resque
Jobs. It samples 4 statistics for any Job for which the plugin extends, enqueue count, completion count, failure count, and the time to process. It will monitor for each specific job, in addition to the totals for all jobs (not including timing stats)
## CURRENT STATUS
This is a fork of jamster’s original gem designed to make it easier to run with Bundler and Rails 3.0.
## Final Outcome

## Usage
### Install
Add this to your Gemfile:
gem "resque-statsd", :git => "git://github.com/cloudability/resque-statsd.git"
### Rails Setup
in an initializer, set up the Statsd
touch config/initializers/resque-statsd.rb
in file add code
require 'enqueue_time' module Resque include Resque::EnqueueTime end StatsdHelper.graphite_host = 'graphite.YOUR_HOST.com' StatsdHelper.namespace = "YOUR_APP.#{Rails.env.development? ? ENV['USER'] : Rails.env}.resque"
Change ‘YOUR_HOST` and `YOUR_APP` accordingly.
### In Your Code
Extend your class like this:
class MyJob extend Resque::Plugins::Statsd def self.perform(*payload) # .. end end
## Background Reading

### StatsD Comes From Etsy
The folks at Etsy (kastner) have come up with a neat node.js app to listen for Graphite stats.

Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
