The OpenCensus SignalFx Stats Exporter for Go is a stats exporter that exports data to SignalFx, a real-time monitoring solution for cloud and distributed applications. SignalFx ingests that data and offers various visualizations on charts, dashboards and service maps, as well as real-time anomaly detection.

import "opencensus-go-signalfx/exporter/signalfx"

The API of this project is still evolving. The use of vendoring or a dependency management tool is recommended.

To use this exporter, one must have a SignalFx account and corresponding data ingest token.

OpenCensus Go libraries require Go 1.8 or later.

func main() {
    // SignalFx token is part of the Options struct.
    // Stats will be reported every second by default.
    exporter, err := signalfx.NewExporter(signalfx.Options{Token: "token"})
    ...
}

It is possible to set a different endpoint for SignalFx, use:

func main() {
    exporter, err := signalfx.NewExporter(signalfx.Options{Token: "token", DatapointEndpoint: "Endpoint"})
    ....
}

It is possible to set different reporting intervals by using SetReportingPeriod(), for example:

func main() {
    exporter, err := signalfx.NewExporter(signalfx.Options{Token: "token"})
    view.RegisterExporter(exporter)
    ....
    view.SetReportingPeriod(5 * time.Second)
}
