cube-ruby

A Cube client for Ruby (http://square.github.com/cube). Heavily based on this statsd ruby client.

MIT licensed. See the LICENSE file for more details. for more details.

Installation

Since Cube is under constant development, it's best if you specify a particular version of cube-ruby in your Gemfile. That way, you can ensure your Ruby application and your Cube instance will be compatible with each other.

Here's a version compatibility table:

Cube   | cube-ruby
--------------------
0.2.0  | 0.0.1
0.2.1+ | 0.0.2 (master)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cube-ruby', require: "cube"

# or specify a particular version:
gem 'cube-ruby', '0.0.2', require: "cube"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cube-ruby

Usage

Set up a global Cube client

# use default hostname and port of localhost:1180
$cube = Cube::Client.new

# use custom hostname and port
$cube = Cube::Client.new 'cube.example.org', 2280

Send Cube some metrics!

# send a new "foo" event to cube
$cube.send "foo"

# send a new event to cube that looks like this:
# { type: "request", data: { value: "somevalue" } }
$cube.send "request", value: "somevalue"

# optionally specify a specific date/time (two days ago)
$cube.send "request", DateTime.now - 2, value: "othervalue"

# specify an event id (https://github.com/square/cube/wiki/Events)
event_id = 42
$cube.send "request", DateTime.now, event_id, duration_ms: 234

Yes, the method is called send. You can still call Object#send on Cube::Client objects by using the __send__ method, per the Ruby docs.

Testing

To include real UDP socket testing in the specs, run LIVE=true rake.
