Configuration

Settings

• TALLY_DATA_DIR: A directory where tally will store its archive data (will be created if it does not exist)
• TALLY_HOST: The IP address tally should listen on, and the default address for clients to send metrics to (default: 127.0.0.1)
• TALLY_PORT: The port tally should use (default: 8900)
• TALLY_FLUSH_TIME: The time, in seconds, between flushes of received metric data (default: 5)
• TALLY_INSTALL_ADMIN: Whether the Django admin should be included in tally’s URLconf. Typically set to True for standalone installations, and False for embedded application installations.
• TALLY_PREFIX: If specified, this string will be prepended to every metric the client sends (default: ‘’)

Middleware

Tally includes a simple middleware class, tally.middleware.PageTimingMiddleware, that sends the amount of time each request takes to the metrics server. The key is generated by stripping leading and trailing slashes, transforming remaining slashes to periods, and prepending requests.[method]. So a POST request for /myapp/some-page/update/ is recorded as requests.post.myapp.some-page.update.
