It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/statsd_131313.svg) # StatsD WordPress Client By [Aaron Edwards](https://profiles.wordpress.org/uglyrobot/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/statsd.0.2.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/statsd/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/statsd/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/statsd/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/statsd/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/statsd/) ## Description For live environment no-latency massively-scalable application metric tracking and code profiling via [Etsy’s StatsD](http://codeascraft.com/2011/02/15/measure-anything-measure-everything/) + Graphite. Tracks everything in WordPress and Multisite: * Logins (success, fails, logout) * Password resets (attempts/successes) * User count (guage) * Users (registrations, spam, ham) * Posting (publish, trash, delete) * Commenting (received, approved, trashed, spam, unspam) * Attachments (Add, edit, delete) * XML-RPC (every command individually, you can rollup) * Multisite blog count (guage) * Multiiste blog actions (new, spam, ham, archive, unarchive, delete, undelete) * Page generation times * Query count (type + time when SAVEQUERIES defined) * Remote HTTP requests (count, time – by host) * WP Cron calls * WP Emails * and more! Requires [StatsD](https://github.com/etsy/statsd) on localhost or a server on your private network. You can also call the $statsd global class in other plugin/theme code for instant tracking of any application metric. See API usage instructions: https://github.com/ domnikl/statsd-php/blob/develop/README.md Contribute at [GitHub](https://github.com/uglyrobot/wordpress-statsd). ### To Do Want to implement batch collection and send of metrics via one or minimal UDP packets required based on connection time. ## Screenshots * [[ * Example dashboard created in Graphite with data collected from this plugin. * [[ * Track any other application stat in your WordPress site with 1 line of code in your plugin/theme. ## Installation 1. Install [StatsD](https://github.com/etsy/statsd) on localhost or a server on your private network. 2. If StatsD is not on localhost, define the local daemon IP in wp-config.php: `define(' STATSD_IP', 'x.x.x.x' );` 3. Install the plugin 4. Activate or Network Activate on multisite 5. That’s it! See the FAQ for more advanced configuration. ## FAQ By default the parent namespace used for stats is “yourdomain_yourpath.wordpress._” where yourdomain\_yourpath would be “www\_domain\_com\_blog” if your site is http:// www.domain.com/blog/. You can override the parent namespace via the `define('STATSD\ _NAMESPACE', 'mysite.myserver');` define in wp-config.php. This one is very important, controls how it shows up in Graphite stats. This should be segmented, left to right general to specific. All “.” trigger segments. For example: applicationname.server like ‘wpmudev.app1’ or ‘edublogs.web4’. That allows for drilling down, but can still wrapup in graphs with ‘edublogs.‘ etc. Can also be run as an mu-plugin by dropping statsd.php in `/wp-content/mu-plugins/`. If needed you can overide the default UDP port of 8125 via `define('STATSD_PORT', xxxx);` define. If you have a very high traffic site you can lower the default 0.5 sample rate for per-pageload calls via `STATSD_SAMPLE_RATE`. If you don’t want to send HTTP metrics per page URL, you can disable this via SKIP_URL_METRICS Contribute at [GitHub](https://github.com/uglyrobot/wordpress-statsd). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/76b74b052c98504b5989e983d0c5fbe671c1535ec3b01024f520f0709cb9b2d9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Proven to work well](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/proven-to-work-well/)󠁿 [WPMU DEV – Your All-in-One WordPress Platform](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpmudev/) September 3, 2016 We use on hundreds of high traffic websites and it’s quite useful for monitoring and debugging.
