We added an Erlang module for StatHat. It’s in our github repo: github.com/stathat/shlibs.

Using it is very simple. Start the module:

{ok, Pid} = stathat:start().

Then you can do:

stathat:ez_count("erlang@stathat.com", "messages sent", 1).

or

stathat:ez_value("erlang@stathat.com", "request time", 92.194).

Thanks to Sam Elliot for reviewing this module and changing it to a gen_server.

We’d love to hear about your experience using this module. Please get in touch.
