    <artifactId>opencensus-impl</artifactId>
    <version>0.16.1</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

For Gradle add to your dependencies:

compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-api:0.16.1'
compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-exporter-stats-signalfx:0.16.1'

Register the exporter

public class MyMainClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // SignalFx token is read from Java system properties.
    // Stats will be reported every second by default.
    SignalFxStatsExporter.create(SignalFxStatsConfiguration.builder().build());
  }
}

If you want to pass in the token yourself, or set a different reporting interval, use:

// Use token "your_signalfx_token" and report every 5 seconds.
SignalFxStatsExporter.create(
    SignalFxStatsConfiguration.builder()
        .setToken("your_signalfx_token")
        .setExportInterval(Duration.create(5, 0))
        .build());
