If you are using NuGet, add Instrumental.NET to your packages.config:

Add the agent and configure it with your project token:

using Instrumental;
var agent = new Agent("PROJECT_TOKEN");

Sending Metrics

Increments are simple counters. learn more

agent.Increment("myapp.logins");

Gauges represent a value at a point in time. learn more

agent.Gauge("myapp.api_results.count", 12345);

The time method measures a function call time.

Func action = () => { DoLongRunningAction(); return "everything is fine"; };
String actionResult = agent.Time("myapp.expensive_operation", action);

Sending Notices

Notices are project specific events.

agent.Notice("Deployed revision 038ade4 to production");
agent.Notice("event with a duration", TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15));
