This simple script will generate random Datadog metrics for common statsD commands to demo the Sourcegraph Datadog Extension.

1. Follow these instructions to setup Datadog's Dogshell to allow sending metrics from your terminal shell: https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/guide/dogshell-quickly-use-datadog-s-api-from-terminal-shell/

If you don't have a Datadog account yet, sign up on their website.

2. Clone the repo:

   git clone [email protected]:sourcegraph/datadog-democode.git
   

3. Setup virtualenv:

   virtualenv --no-site-packages -p `which python3` venv
   source ./venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Run the script to start generating metrics:

   python gen_some_datadog_metrics.py
   

5. Activate the Datadog extension.

6. Open any open source code that generates the following kind of incremental metrics:

   uploaded.file.size
   active.connections
   users.online 
   files.transferred
   page.views
   files.remaining
   guild.messages.create
   guild.messages.delete
   guild.messages.update
   gateway.events.received
   

Based on these metrics, you can setup your Datadog dashboard to look like this:
