There is one major use case this is designed for: finagle. To use with finagle simply include the library on the class path, it will be loaded automatically via the LoadService class and added to the DefaultReciever. You can then use the default reciever safe in the knowledge that all your stats are being collected into a Drowpwizard metrics registry. To get them back out again simply grab the registry from the companion object and use as you would any other registry for reporting. An example
// other imports...
import io.artfuldodge.util.stats.MetricsStatsReceiver
object FinagleThing extends App {
val service = new Service[Request, Response] {
def apply(req: Request) = {
Future.const(Response(Status.Ok))
}
}
val server = Httpx.server(":*", service)
val registry = MetricsStatsReceiver.registry
val reporter = ConsoleReporter.forRegistry(registry)
.convertRatesTo(TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.convertDurationsTo(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.build()
reporter.start(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
Await.ready(server)
}
And you will start seeing all the lovely stats that a finagle server exports be default appearing in your console.
