# pickle
Instant StatsD in Haskell. Easy to implement in a program you've already written without any refactoring to pass any sockets/configuration around.

## Usage
Call `setupPickle defaultConfig` at least once, e.g.
```haskell
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import qualified Data.Map.Strict as M

main :: IO()
main = do
    setupPickle defaultConfig
    {...}
```
Then to send metrics you can just call one of these functions:
```haskell
let name  = "gauge.name"
    value = 42
    tags  = M.fromList [("key","value), ("tag2","value")]
gauge   name value (Just tags)
timer   name value (Just tags) Nothing
counter name value (Just tags) Nothing
```

Pickle will take care of the rest. He's a good boy.
