# Instrumental Tools

A collection of tools for use with Instrumental ([www.instrumental.com](http://www.instrumentalapp.com/))

## instrument_server

Use to collect various monitoring statistics of a server. Execute with:

```sh
instrument_server -k <INSTRUMENTAL_API_KEY>
```

Mac OS note: Due to a bug in Ruby, instrument_server can occasionally deadlock ([bug report](http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5811)).

## instrumental

Output text graphs of the different metrics in your project.

See all options with: `instrumental --help`

## gitstrumental

Collect statistics on commit counts in a given git repo.  Execute in the repo directory with:

```sh
gitstrumental [INSTRUMENTAL_API_KEY]
```

## Capistrano Integration

Add `require "instrumental_tools/capistrano"` to your capistrano
configuration and instrument_server will be restarted after your
deploy is finished. Additionally, you will need to add a new variable
to your capistrano file.

```ruby
set :instrumental_key, "YOUR_KEY_HERE"
```

The following configuration will be added:

```ruby
after "deploy", "instrumental:restart_instrument_server"
after "deploy:migrations", "instrumental:restart_instrument_server"
```

By default, this will attempt to restart the instrument_server command
on all the servers specified in your configuration. If you need to
limit the servers on which you restart the server, you can do
something like this in your capistrano configuration:

```ruby
namespaces[:instrumental].tasks[:restart_instrument_server].options[:roles] = [:web, :worker]
```
