Bulk Distribution Metric

[mu4farooqi]

I want to capture metrics in a Sidekiq job where I'm doing batch processing. I'm doing something like following:

  time_now = Time.now.utc.to_f
  messages.each do |message|
    Sentry::Metrics.distribution(
      'message_dispatch_latency', time_now - message.created_at.to_f, unit: 'millisecond'
    )
  end

Is there a better way to do this. Because here if we have 10 messages, we'll make 10 network calls right? Do we have any option to send bulk metrics.

@mu4farooqi that will not send 10 network calls, we locally collect the metrics in a thread and flush them out every 5 seconds. The aggregation / batching is already handled by the SDK. :)
