Datadog increment/decrement not working about php-datadogstatsd HOT 6 CLOSED

sorry, my bad. It's because I am forgot to initialize the agent for UDP

from php-datadogstatsd.

@kevinralali Can you provide a sample code? Would be interesting if this helps us.

Because, I think, we have the same or a similar issue for PHP 5.6.30 on Debian Jessie. We can create an event, but not increment a value. (Datadog is investigating internally for this now, according to a support ticket we have opened.)

@bittner

`function sendDataEmail() {
Datadogstatsd::configure(DOG_KEY, DOG_APP);

$conn = new mysqli(SERVER, USER_DB, PASS_DB, SERVER_DB, PORT_DB);

if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

$sql = "SELECT count(*) as total
          FROM rl_bulk_mail 
          WHERE `status`=1 AND proses_time > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 5 MINUTE)";

$query = $conn->query($sql);
$total = 0;
if ($query->num_rows > 0) {
    while($item = $query->fetch_object()){
        for ($i=0;$i < $item->total;$i++) {
            echo "sendDataEmail".PHP_EOL;
            Datadogstatsd::increment(DOG_ENDPOINT.'.bulk_email');
            $total++;
        }
    }

}

}`

Do you have done to initialize the UDP agent?

from php-datadogstatsd.

The two Datadogstatsd calls (configure, increment) above are obvious.

But what do I have to do to "initialize the UDP agent"? I don't understand.

More Insights / Analysis Results

I can see from the source code why we can create an event using this client, but not a metric:

• event uses curl, hence is an API wrapper.
• increment and service_check, on the other hand, communicate via sockets.

IIUC, the latter code must run on the target host, otherwise there is not datadog-agent running to accept the socket connection. The API wrapper code, on the other hand, is independent from the datadog-agent and can run on our developer machines.

@bittner you should doing this https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#agent

from php-datadogstatsd.

@kevinralali Your link just brings me to the Datadog agent Installation Instructions page. UDP is not explicitly mentioned.

Do you intend that one needs to set up the agent properly (i.e. regularly, as with the "easy one-step install")? Then the statsd client calls should work?

We have that setup, our code for now looks as follows and works with event but does nothing, even when deployed on the target host, when it's increment or service_check:

public function listAction()
{
    \Datadogstatsd::configure('ad**********cv', '0a************b3');
    \Datadogstatsd::service_check('something.service.check',
                                  \Datadogstatsd::OK,
                                  ['something:cron'],
                                  'dev.something.docker',
                                  'test');
