StatsD is a network daemon that runs on the Node.js platform and listens for
statistics, like counters and timers, sent over UDP and sends aggregates to one
or more pluggable backend services (e.g., Graphite).

StatsD was written at Etsy. We blogged about how it works and why we created it:
http://codeascraft.com/2011/02/15/measure-anything-measure-everything/

To install this Go client, use go get:

	go get github.com/etsy/statsd

This client's documentation can be found on godoc.org:
http://godoc.org/github.com/etsy/statsd/examples/go

Example usage:

	package main

	import (
		"github.com/etsy/statsd/examples/go"
		"time"
	)

	func main() {
		// Record a start time
		t1 := time.Now()

		// Create a new StatsD connection
		host := "localhost"
		port := 8125

		client := statsd.New(host, port)

		// Increment a stat counter
		client.Increment("stat.metric1")

		// Decrement a stat counter
		client.Decrement("stat.metric1")

		// Record an end time
		t2 := time.Now()

		// Submit timing information
		duration := int64(t2.Sub(t1) / time.Millisecond)
		client.Timing("stat.timer", duration)
	}
