A Cube client for Ruby (http://square.github.com/cube). Heavily based on this statsd ruby client.

MIT licensed. See the LICENSE file for more details. for more details.

Since Cube is under constant development, it's best if you specify a particular version of cube-ruby in your Gemfile. That way, you can ensure your Ruby application and your Cube instance will be compatible with each other.

Here's a version compatibility table:

Cube   | cube-ruby
--------------------
0.2.0  | 0.0.1
0.2.1+ | 0.0.2 (master)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cube-ruby', require: "cube"

# or specify a particular version:
gem 'cube-ruby', '0.0.2', require: "cube"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cube-ruby

# use default hostname and port of localhost:1180
$cube = Cube::Client.new

# use custom hostname and port
$cube = Cube::Client.new 'cube.example.org', 2280

# send a new "foo" event to cube
$cube.send "foo"

# send a new event to cube that looks like this:
# { type: "request", data: { value: "somevalue" } }
$cube.send "request", value: "somevalue"

# optionally specify a specific date/time (two days ago)
$cube.send "request", DateTime.now - 2, value: "othervalue"

# specify an event id (https://github.com/square/cube/wiki/Events)
event_id = 42
$cube.send "request", DateTime.now, event_id, duration_ms: 234

Yes, the method is called send. You can still call Object#send on Cube::Client objects by using the __send__ method, per the Ruby docs.
