Usage

var Graphite = require('graphite-service')
var metric = new Graphite([options])

options is an object with the following defaults:

{
  host: 'localhost', // graphite server host or ip
  port: 8081, // graphite server udp port
  type: 'udp4', // udp type (udp4 or udp6)
  prefix: '', // a prefix to prepend to the name of all metrics
  suffix: '', // a suffix to append to the name of all metrics
  interval: 5000, // group metrics for 5s and send only 1 request
  allow: {
  		production: true,
  		development: false
  }
}

Example

var Graphite = require('graphite-service')
var metric = new Graphite({
  prefix: 'app',
  interval: 10000
})

metric.add('user', 1, 'c') // add 1

Will generate

app.user 1 1447192345

var userMetric = metric.instance();
userMetric.add('metric', 1, 'c');

metric.start & metric.end
