Usage

Basic usage:

import (
  "time"

  "github.com/getspine/go-metrics-honeycomb"
  "github.com/rcrowley/go-metrics"
)

go honeycomb.Honeycomb(
  metrics.DefaultRegistry,
  60 * time.Second,      // Interval between sending metrics
  "your-write-key",      // Honeycomb write key
  "your-dataset",        // Honeycomb dataset
  []float64{0.95, 0.99}, // Percentiles to report from histograms
)

If you wish to add extra fields or other configuration to the Honeycomb client, you can use the following procedure:

import (
  "time"

  "github.com/getspine/go-metrics-honeycomb"
  "github.com/honeycombio/libhoney-go"
  "github.com/rcrowley/go-metrics"
)

reporter := honeycomb.NewReporter(
  metrics.DefaultRegistry,
  60 * time.Second,      // Interval between sending metrics
  "your-write-key",      // Honeycomb write key
  "your-dataset",        // Honeycomb dataset,
  []float64{0.95, 0.99}, // Percentiles to report from histograms
)

libhoney.AddField("philcollins", "sussudio")
...

go reporter.Run()
