// Package provider provides a factory-like abstraction for metrics backends.
|
|
// This package is provided specifically for the needs of the NY Times framework
|
|
// Gizmo. Most normal Go kit users shouldn't need to use it.
|
|
//
|
|
// Normally, if your microservice needs to support different metrics backends,
|
|
// you can simply do different construction based on a flag. For example,
|
|
//
|
|
// var latency metrics.Histogram
|
|
// var requests metrics.Counter
|
|
// switch *metricsBackend {
|
|
// case "prometheus":
|
|
// latency = prometheus.NewSummaryVec(...)
|
|
// requests = prometheus.NewCounterVec(...)
|
|
// case "statsd":
|
|
// s := statsd.New(...)
|
|
// t := time.NewTicker(5*time.Second)
|
|
// go s.SendLoop(t.C, "tcp", "statsd.local:8125")
|
|
// latency = s.NewHistogram(...)
|
|
// requests = s.NewCounter(...)
|
|
// default:
|
|
// log.Fatal("unsupported metrics backend %q", *metricsBackend)
|
|
// }
|
|
//

// Provider abstracts over constructors and lifecycle management functions for

// each supported metrics backend. It should only be used by those who need to

// This is primarily useful for intermediating frameworks, and is likely
|
|
// unnecessary for most Go kit services. See the package-level doc comment for
|
|
// more typical usage instructions.
