Settings Configuration

Statix

After the underlying Statix library is configured, Instruments requires little configuration. To configure Statix, include the following in your config/config.exs file:

config :statix, 
  prefix: "#{Mix.env}",
  host: "localhost",
  port: 15339 

This should be pretty self-explanatory, other than you'll have a metric prefix of your Mix.env for all metrics, so if you defined a metric named my_server.requests_per_second it would be converted to prod.my_server.requests_per_second.

More information can be found on the Statix GitHub page.

Instruments-Specific Config

There are a couple of Instruments specific application variables:

• reporter_module: The Instruments.StatsReporter that emits statistics for the application. Defaults

                 to `Instruments.Statix`.

• fast_counter_report_interval: How often counters should send data to the reporter_module. Defaults

                              to 10 seconds.

• probe_prefix: A global prefix to apply to all probes.
• statsd_port: The port that the statsd server listens on. Should be the same as the port in the statix

             configuration above.

For example:

 config :instruments, 
   reporter_module: Instruments.StatsReporter.Logger,
   fast_counter_report_interval: 30_000,
   probe_prefix: "probes",
   statsd_port: 15339
