statsd.raw

class statsd.raw.Raw(name, connection=None)

Class to implement a statsd raw message. If a service has already summarized its own data for e.g. inspection purposes, use this summarized data to send to a statsd that has the raw patch, and this data will be sent to graphite pretty much unchanged.

See https://github.com/chuyskywalker/statsd/blob/master/README.md for more info.

>>> raw = Raw('test')

>>> import time
