spark-carbon-library

About

A library for posting metrics to a Carbon daemon.

What You Need

• A Spark Core
• A Carbon daemon

How to Use

1. Set up a TCPClient to use with SparkCarbon.
2. Instantiate the SparkCarbon library. We'll use a variables named tcpClient and carbon for this example.
3. In setup(), "begin" the library using carbon.begin(). carbon.begin() will work with a few variations.
   1. IP Address without port (defaults to 2003): carbon.begin(tcpClient, { 127, 0, 0, 1 });
   2. IP Address with port: carbon.begin(tcpClient, { 127, 0, 0, 1}, 2003);
   3. DNS name without port (defaults to 2003): carbon.begin(tcpClient, "my-carbon-server.mydomain.com", 2003);
   4. DNS name with port: carbon.begin(tcpClient, "my-carbon-server.mydomain.com", 2003);
4. Finally, elsewhere in your code, you can use carbon.sendData("stats.spark-test", 1, 1302905160) (metric, value, timestamp) to post data to your Carbon daemon.
