+# Airbrake-Statsd
+
+Extends the [Airbrake][] gem to also report exceptions Esty's [Statsd][]
+statistics aggregator.
+
+## Installation
+
+    gem install airbrake-statsd
+
+## Usage
+
+It's assumed you know what both Airbrake and StatsD are before attempting to
+use this gem. If you don't, come back when you do know :)
+
+All that's needed is to require `airbrake-statsd` and call
+`Airbrake::Statsd.configure` and Airbrake notifications will automatically be
+sent to StatsD and Airbrake.
+
+```ruby
+require 'airbrake'
+require 'airbrake-statsd'
+
+Airbrake::Statsd.configure do |config|
+  config.host = 'my-statsd-server'
+  config.port = 8125
+  config.namespace = 'my_awesome_app'
+end
+
+Airbrake.notify({})
+```
