defmodule Honeylixir do @version Mix.Project.config()[:version] @moduledoc """ Used to interact with Honeycomb's API for sending events. ## Installation Adding Honeylixir to your mix.exs as a dependency should suffice for installation: ``` def deps() do [ {:honeylixir, "~> 0.7.0"} ] end ``` ## Configuration You can configure any of the following variables via Config: |Name|Type|Description|Default| |---|---|---|---| |`:api_host`|`string`|API to send events to|https://api.honeycomb.io| |`:sample_rate`|`integer`|Default rate at which events will be sampled represented as a percented. e.g., use 10 to send 10% of events|1| |`:sample_hook`|function/2|Arity 2 function accepting the sample rate originally on the event and all fields at the time of sending as the second|N/A| |`:team_writekey`|`string`|API key used to send events|`nil`| |`:dataset`|`string`/`atom`|Dataset to send the events to|`nil`| |`:service_name`|`string`/`atom`|Name of your service which will be added as a field on all events at the key `"service_name"`|`nil`| |`:max_queue_size`|`integer`|How large the transmission queue can grow before events are dropped|`10_000`| |`:batch_size`|`integer`|How many events to send per batch|`50`| |`:batch_timing`|`integer`|Time in milliseconds to try sending events from the queue in a batch|`100`| |`:max_send_processes`|`integer`|How many Processes to use for sending events in the background|`30`| It is required that you set `:team_writekey` and `:dataset` for events to be sent. Otherwise, they will return non-200 responses from Honeycomb resulting in the events being dropped. An example config may look like so (whether distillery or compile time Mix): ``` config :honeylixir, dataset: :"my-company", team_writekey: System.get_env("HONEYLIXIR_WRITEKEY"), service_name: :my_application ``` Additionally, many are defined on the `Honeylixir.Event` struct and can be overridden on a per-event basis. Please check its typspec for a complete list of what you can modify. ``` event = Honeylixir.Event.create() event = %{event | api_host: "https://some-other-valid-host.com"} ``` ## Usage ### Sending events `Honeylixir` provides the ability to make a `Honeylixir.Event`, add fields to it, then send it off asynchronously. ``` Honeylixir.Event.create() |> Honeylixir.Event.add_field("a_field", "my_value") |> Honeylixir.Event.add_field("something-else", %{"nested" => "value"}) |> Honeylixir.Event.add(%{"field 4" => 4, "field 5" => :ok}) |> Honeylixir.Event.send() ``` Any value that dervices the `Jason.Encoder` protocol can be used, but fields are **REQUIRED** to be strings. Non-string fields will result in a no matching function clause error. ### Global field configuration `Honeylixir` supports adding global fields which will be added to all events on event creation. You can add, remove, or view the fields configured at any time. ``` Honeylixir.GlobalFields.add_field("my-thing", "special") event = Honeylixir.Event.create() IO.inspect(event.fields) # => %{"my-thing" => "special"} IO.inspect Honeylixir.GlobalFields.fields # => %{"my-thing", "special"} Honeylixir.GlobalFields.remove_field("my-thing") IO.inspect Honeylixir.GlobalFields.fields # => %{} ``` ### Configuring Sampling You can configure a `sample_hook` that is invoked when an event is sent. This is called first to determine if the event will actually be sent to Honeycomb. The expected way to use this is to pass a function using `&Module.function/2` syntax. If you are using pattern matching in your sample hook and aren't covering all cases on your own, you can set the catch-all sample hook to call the `default_sample_hook` in this package. ``` defmodule MyApp.HoneycombSampling do def sample(original_rate, %{"user_id" => user_id}) do {Honeylixir.DeterinsticSampler.should_sample?(original_rate, user_id), original_rate} end def sample(original_rate, fields), do: Honeylixir.default_sample_hook(original_rate, fields) end config :honeylixir, sample_hook: &MyApp.HoneycombSampling.sample/2 ``` ### Builder pattern Currently, the Builder pattern is supported insomuch as Elixir's syntax allows it. That is to say, you can create your own function that acts as a Builder. ``` defmodule MyHoneylixirBuilders do def http_event do Honeylixir.Event.create() |> Honeylixir.add_field("foo", "bar") end def different_dataset_event do %{Honeylixir.Event.create() | dataset: "my-other-dataset"} |> Honeylixir.add_field("something", "great") |> Honeylixir.add_field("another", "thing") end end ``` ### Checking responses By attaching metadata to your events, you can pull `Honeylixir.Response`s to see what happened to your event. These are sent along via `:telemetry` for getting events as part of the `metadata` object at the `:response` field. Current eventNames: * `[:honeylixir, :event, :send]` - Used for the response around any event sent, even if that event is sampled or rejected for queue overflow. Metadata is set to `%{response: %Honeylixir.Response}` which contains the data. ``` # Note: as stated in the `:telemetry` docs, you should use function capture rather than anonymous functions. :telemetry.attach( "test-attachment", [:honeylixir, :event, :send], fn _event_name, _measurements, %{response: response}, _config -> IO.inspect response end, nil ) Honeylixir.Event.create() |> Honeylixir.Event.send() # wait for event to async send off and the associated Response will be output ``` You can also attach to the function used for key creation: ``` :telemetry.attach( "my-listener", Honeylixir.event_send_telemetry_key(), fn _, _, _, _ -> nil end, nil ) ``` """ @typedoc """ Function signature required of the function passed as a sample_hook. It takes in the sample rate as it is set on the event in question as well as all the fields that would be sent. The return value should be a tuple of a boolean and integer. The boolean indicates if the event should, in fact, be sent to Honeycomb. The integer is the sample rate as should be reported to Honeycomb for extrapolation.
