Sample metrics objects

gistfile1.py

metrics = MetricFamily('my_app')

results = do_work()
metrics.record('result.created', len(results)) # my_app.result.created

for result in results:
    result.save()
    # my_app.result.saved. Each time increment is called, either increment the value at that timestamp (truncated 
    # to the second) or create a new point and increment that value.
    metrics.increment('result.saved') 

metrics.submit()
