This project is a just a simple example showing how to use Datadog using statsD and the API in GoLang.

NOTE: It is suggested that one doesn't run the examples on a live datadog server, else you will see useless events on the datadog event stream and metrics.

1. Make sure you have datadog statsD installed on your system. If it isn't then visit this url and download it:

    https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#agent
   

2. Do a go get -u in your system to fetch the required datadog libraries.

3. Now view example.go , it contains every example for statsD.

1. An API wrapper has been created and simple methods can be called to fire API events. Have a look at datadog/api.go in the source to see the implementation.

2. For API code to work, you need an API key and an Application key. Get yours from:

    https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#api
   

3. Now view example.go , it contains every example for API.

4. Make sure to change the values of API_KEY and APP_KEY in the Init() method in example.go

TODO:
1. Add documentation for API wrapper.
2. Add documentation for statsD wrapper.
