// 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/

// 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)
// })

//
// 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)
// })
