django-datadog-compatibility 0.0.1

Quickstart

To get started, setup your DataDog Agent, then configure this app:

pip install django-datadog-compatibility

Configure your settings.py with DataDog and StatsD:

DATADOG = {
  'ENABLED': True,
  'API_KEY': 'xxxx',
  'APP_KEY': 'xxxx',
}

STATSD_HOST = 'localhost'
STATSD_PORT = '12345'

You’re now able to call DataDog functions:

from django_datadog.compat import create_event, create_gauge

create_event('example.com.my_event',
             fmt_text='Sample event %s',
             priority='normal',
             text_args=(request.user.email, ),
             tags=['app:example'])

create_gauge('example.com.my_gauge', value=25)

And that’s it!

Contributing

We don’t currently cover all of DataDog’s functionality. If you’d like to contribute, please open a Pull Request with the new function and a test case.

Add the function to django_datadog/compat.py
