instrumental.go

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "net"
  "bufio"
  "time"
)

const apiKey string = "your api key"

func main() {
  fmt.Println("Starting Instrumental collection")
  conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "instrumentalapp.com:8000")
  if err != nil {
     fmt.Println(err)
  }
  fmt.Println("Sending hello")
  fmt.Fprintf(conn, "hello version 0.1\n")
  status, err := bufio.NewReader(conn).ReadString('\n')
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
  }
  fmt.Println("Authenticating w/ instrumental")
  fmt.Fprintf(conn, "authenticate %v\n", apiKey)
  authStatus, err := bufio.NewReader(conn).ReadString('\n')
  if err != nil {
   fmt.Println("There was an error authenticating")
  }
  fmt.Println("Sneding increment to test metric")
  fmt.Fprintf(conn, "increment test.increment_metric 1 %v\n", time.Now().Unix())
  fmt.Printf("metric submitted")
}
