defmodule Riemannx do
@moduledoc """
Riemannx is a riemann client that supports UDP/TCP sockets and also supports
a hybrid connection where smaller packets are sent via UDP and the rest over
TCP.
## Examples
To use riemannx all you need to do is fill out some config entries - after
that everything just happens automagically (save for the actual sending of
course):
```elixir
config :riemannx, [
# Client settings
host: "127.0.0.1",
tcp_port: 5555,
udp_port: 5555,
max_udp_size: 16384, # Must be the same as server side, the default is riemann's default.
type: :combined, # A choice of :tcp, :udp, :combined or :tls
retry_count: 5, # How many times to re-attempt a TCP connection before crashing.
retry_interval: 1, # Interval to wait before the next TCP connection attempt.
ssl_opts: [], # Used for tls, see TLS section in the README for details.
# Poolboy settings
pool_size: 5, # Pool size will be 10 if you use a combined type.
max_overflow: 5, # Max overflow will be 10 if you use a combined type.
strategy: :fifo, # See Riemannx.Settings documentation for more info.
]
```
### Worker Behaviour
If a worker is unable to send it will die and be restarted giving it
a chance to return to a 'correct' state. On an asynchronous send this is done
by pattern matching :ok with the send command, for synchronous sends if the
return value is an error we kill the worker before returning the result.

Synchronous sending allows you to handle the errors that might occur during
send, below is an example showing both how this error looks and what happens
on a successful send:
```
event = [service: "riemannx-elixir",
metric: 1,
attributes: [a: 1],
description: "test"]
case Riemannx.send(event) do
:ok ->
"Success!"
[error: error, msg: encoded_msg] ->
# The error will always be a string so you can output it as it is.
#
# The encoded message is a binary blob but you can use the riemannx proto
# msg module to decode it if you wish to see it in human readable form.
msg = encoded_msg |> Riemannx.Proto.Msg.decode()
end
```
"""
@spec send(events) :: :ok | Conn.error()
def send(events) do
events
|> create_events_msg()
|> enqueue_sync()
end
@doc """
Asynchronous sending is much faster but you never really know if your message
made it, in a lot of cases this kind of sending is safe enough and for most
use cases the recommended choice. It's fairly simple to implement:
```
event = [service: "riemannx-elixir",
metric: 1,
attributes: [a: 1],
description: "test"]
Riemannx.send_async(event)
# Who knows if it made it? Who cares? 60% of the time it works everytime!
```
"""
@spec send_async(events()) :: :ok
def send_async(events) do
events
|> create_events_msg()
|> enqueue()
end
@doc """
Riemann has the concept of a queryable index which allows you to search for
specific events, indexes must be specially created in your config otherwise
the server will return a "no index" error.
```elixir
# Lets send an event that we can then query
Riemannx.send([service: "riemannx", metric: 5.0, attributes: [v: "2.2.0"]])
# Let's fish it out
events = Riemannx.query('service ~= "riemannx"')
# [%{attributes: %{"v" => "2.2.0"}, description: nil, host: _,
# metric: nil, service: "riemannx", state: nil, tags: [],
# time: _, ttl: _}]
```
For more information on querying and the language features have a look at
the [Core Concepts](http://riemann.io/concepts.html).
