// Package metrics implements Prometheus-compatible metrics for applications. // // This package is lightweight alternative to https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang // with simpler API and smaller dependencies. // // Usage: // // 1. Register the required metrics via New* functions. // 2. Expose them to `/metrics` page via WritePrometheus. // 3. Update the registered metrics during application lifetime. // // The package has been extracted from https://victoriametrics.com/ package metrics import ( "io" ) type namedMetric struct { name string metric metric } type metric interface { marshalTo(prefix string, w io.Writer) } var defaultSet = NewSet() // WritePrometheus writes all the registered metrics in Prometheus format to w. // // If exposeProcessMetrics is true, then various `go_*` and `process_*` metrics // are exposed for the current process. // // The WritePrometheus func is usually called inside "/metrics" handler: // // http.HandleFunc("/metrics", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) { // metrics.WritePrometheus(w, true) // }) // func WritePrometheus(w io.Writer, exposeProcessMetrics bool) { defaultSet.WritePrometheus(w) if exposeProcessMetrics { WriteProcessMetrics(w) } } // WriteProcessMetrics writes additional process metrics in Prometheus format to w. // // Various `go_*` and `process_*` metrics are exposed for the currently // running process. // // The WriteProcessMetrics func is usually called in combination with writing Set metrics // inside "/metrics" handler: // // http.HandleFunc("/metrics", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) { // mySet.WritePrometheus(w) // metrics.WriteProcessMetrics(w) // }) // func WriteProcessMetrics(w io.Writer) { writeGoMetrics(w) writeProcessMetrics(w) }
