django-statsd-mozilla

What it is and what it does

django-statsd-mozilla is a Django middleware and utility library that connects your Django application to a statsd server for real-time metrics collection. It sends application performance data to statsd, which aggregates and forwards metrics to monitoring systems. The package provides decorators and context managers to instrument custom code sections.

The library depends only on the statsd client library and integrates as Django middleware or through explicit instrumentation calls. It was last released 2017-09-01 with a final commit 2020-09-04, meaning it receives no active maintenance or security updates and may have compatibility issues with recent Django versions.

Use it for:

• Track request latency and throughput metrics in a Django application connected to a statsd aggregator.
• Monitor database query performance and cache hit rates by instrumenting ORM and cache operations.
• Collect custom application metrics via decorators on view functions or service methods.
• Feed real-time application telemetry into a monitoring system for alerting and capacity planning.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides Django integration with statsd for sending application metrics to a statsd server, enabling real-time performance monitoring and statistics collection.

No—unless you are maintaining legacy code already using this package. The library is abandoned (last release 2017-09-01, last commit 2020-09-04) and likely incompatible with modern Django versions. For new projects, use actively maintained alternatives or direct integration with statsd via a maintained client library.

Install

pip install django-statsd-mozilla

uv add django-statsd-mozilla

poetry add django-statsd-mozilla

Installing django-statsd-mozilla

Before you install

Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (statsd). However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2017-09-01 and last commit 2020-09-04—so it receives no active maintenance or security updates.

License in practice

BSD license is permissive and poses no restrictions on use, modification, or distribution in proprietary or open-source projects.

Quickstart

pip install django-statsd-mozilla

from django_statsd.middleware import StatsdMiddleware
# Add to Django MIDDLEWARE setting

Requires a running statsd server and Django application setup

Verify before relying

• Whether the package remains compatible with current Django versions (last release 2017-09-01)
• Whether statsd dependency versions are pinned or compatible with modern Python ecosystems
• Active community forks or maintained alternatives if compatibility issues arise
