# metrics - lightweight alternative to `github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Features
|
|
|
|
* Lightweight. Has minimal number of third-party dependencies and all these deps are small.
|
|
See [this article](https://medium.com/@valyala/stripping-dependency-bloat-in-victoriametrics-docker-image-983fb5912b0d) for details.
|
|
* Easy to use. See the [API docs](http://godoc.org/github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics).
|
|
* Fast.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Limitations
|
|
|
|
* It doesn't implement advanced functionality from [github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
var (
|
|
requestsTotal = metrics.NewCounter("requests_total")
|
|
|
|
queueSize = metrics.NewGauge(`queue_size{queue="foobar"}`, func() float64 {
|
|
return float64(foobarQueue.Len())
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
requestDuration = metrics.NewSummary(`requests_duration_seconds{handler="/my/super/handler"}`)
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func requestHandler() {
|
|
startTime := time.Now()
|
|
...
|
|
requestsTotal.Inc()
|
|
requestDuration.UpdateDuration(startTime)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
