Instrument

Create

An instrument with a single metric stream:

librato_metrics_instrument "example" do
  metric "foo"
  source "*"
  group_function "average"
end

An instrument with multiple metric streams:

librato_metrics_instrument "example" do
  streams([
    {
      "metric" => "foo",
      "source" => "*",
      "group_function" => "sum"
    },
    {
      "metric" => "bar",
      "source" => "i-*",
      "group_function" => "breakout"
    }
  ])
end

Update

Keep an instrument updated (Chef search results etc.):

librato_metrics_instrument "example" do
  streams([
    {
      "metric" => "foo",
      "source" => "*",
      "group_function" => "average"
    },
    {
      "metric" => "bar",
      "source" => "*.domain.com",
      "group_function" => "sum"
    }
  ])
  action :update
end

It's common to create an instrument and ensure it stays up-to-date:

action [:create, :update]

Add

Add a metric stream to an existing instrument:

librato_metrics_instrument "example" do
  metric "super"
  source "*.sub.domain.com"
  group_function "sum"
  action :add
end

Dashboard

Create

A dashboard with a single instrument:

librato_metrics_dashboard "example" do
  instrument "example"
end

A dashboard with multiple instruments:

librato_metrics_dashboard "example" do
  instruments([
    "example",
    "foo",
    "bar"
  ])
end

Update

Keep a dashboard updated (Chef search results etc.):

librato_metrics_dashboard "example" do
  instruments([
    "example",
    "foo",
    "bar",
    "baz"
  ])
  action :update
end

It's common to create a dashboard and ensure it stays up-to-date:
