arbor / arbor-datadog Goto Github PK

I don't know if this is the right place to ask for help. This library seems very well maintained so I'd like to start using it but clueless on how.

• Am I supposed to open one new client upon starting up my app with createStatsClient and keep it open, giving it to send or sendEvt everytime I want to instrument an event?
• Does this library somehow rely on datadog package? I see withDogStatsD function invoked in the examples in the module Arbor.Network.StatsD.Datadog. Would I need datadog package as well to actually use this?

For context, I'm trying to instrument a Servant application, most importantly instrumenting the response times of the endpoints as well as the database calls. I'm deploying to Heroku.

I'll be happy to post my questions on Stackoverflow or elsewhere if it's inappropriate here.
