# StatsDLogger
StatsDLogger prints (to stdout) any StatsD metrics sent to it. It is a simple UDP server which
looks for messages separated by a single `:`.
This is meant for development purposes and doesn't serve any production value.
## Installation
This package can be installed by adding `statsd_logger` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:statsd_logger, "~> 1.0.0"}
]
end
```
## Usage
StatsDLogger will automatically start when a port is configured for it:
```elixir
config :statsd_logger, port: 8126
```
You can manually start StatsDLogger in your supervision tree as well:
```elixir
StatsDLogger.start_link(port: 8126)
```
You will see STDOUT printed messages. This is done to allow the message to be
seen separate of your other logs in development.
