It supports both Etsy's original StatsD protocol and InfluxDB's Telegraf StatsD variant, allowing you to record counters, timings, and gauges. The package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a single wheel, making it straightforward to add to any project.\n\nYou create a StatsClient instance pointing to your StatsD server, then call methods like incr(), timing(), or gauge() to record metrics. It includes Django integration via settings configuration. The package is marked Production/Stable but has been abandoned since May 2021, so it receives no maintenance or updates.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a minimal, dependency-free StatsD client and your StatsD infrastructure is stable. The permissive MIT license and zero runtime dependencies make it low-risk to adopt. However, the abandoned status since May 2021 means you should verify compatibility with your target server version and be prepared to fork if issues arise."},"id":"statshog","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/statshog","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/statshog.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/statshog/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-05-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"statshog","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A simple statsd client."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2080642,"position":3308,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.6"}
