statman-meter
statman-meter is one of the metrics from the statman library. Loosely based upon codahale metric package, a meter provides count and average information over a period of time.
This can be used to instrument call that may be expensive:
- incoming web service calls
- outbound calls to a subsystem
- expensive algorithms
Install it!
Option 1: access directly
Install using npm:
npm install statman-meter
Reference in your app:
var Meter = require('statman-meter');
var meter = Meter('meter-name');
Option 2: access from statman
Install using npm:
npm install statman
Reference in your app:
var statman = require('statman');
var meter = statman.Meter('meter-name');
Use it!
Option 1: init, record values, read
var meter = new Meter('webservice-calls');
meter.record(2000); //record that a call occurred for 2000 milliseconds
meter.record(4000); //record that a call occurred for 4000 milliseconds
meter.count(); //reports that there have been 2 calls
meter.getAverage(); //reports that the average call is taking 3000 milliseconds
Option 2: init, record stopwatch, read
var meter = new Meter('webservice-calls');
var stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch.start();
..
stopwatch.stop();
meter.record(stopwatch); //record that a call occurred and gets value from stopwatch.read()
meter.count(); //reports number of calls
meter.getAverage(); //reports the average timing of the calls
For more info on stopwatch, see (statman-stopwatch

Option 3: init, start event, stop event
var meter = new Meter('webservice-calls');
var event = meter.startEvent();
..
var event = stop();
meter.count() //reports number of calls
meter.getAverage(); //reports the average timing of the calls
