Runs as a periodic cron to record recent cycle time metrics to statsd.

Development

./bin/setup

To run tests:

bundle exec rspec

To run tasks locally (e.g.):

foreman run bundle exec rake record:data_freshness

Testing Datadog

Some of the tasks in this repo send metrics to Datadog via dogstatsd. If you are adding a task that does something similar, you might want to test sending metric from your local to Datadog. You can do that by:

• Spin up a local dd-agent using Hokusai:

  hokusai dev start
  

• Run the task locally, for example:

  foreman run bundle exec rake record:data_freshness
  

• You can also run the task via Hokusai:

  hokusai dev run "bundle exec rake record:data_freshness"
  

• Confirm it works by locating the metric on Datadog Metrics Explorer UI. There's a lag of a few minutes.
