package metrics

import "github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics"

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/

Functions

func ExposeMetadata 

func ExposeMetadata(v bool)

ExposeMetadata allows enabling adding TYPE and HELP metadata to the exposed metrics globally.

It is safe to call this method multiple times. It is allowed to change it in runtime. ExposeMetadata is set to false by default.

Example

Code:play  

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics"
)

func main() {
	metrics.ExposeMetadata(true)
	defer metrics.ExposeMetadata(false)

	s := metrics.NewSet()

	sc := s.NewCounter("set_counter")
	sc.Inc()

	s.NewGauge(`unused_bytes{foo="bar"}`, func() float64 { return 58 })
	s.NewGauge(`used_bytes{foo="bar"}`, func() float64 { return 42 })
	s.NewGauge(`used_bytes{foo="baz"}`, func() float64 { return 43 })

	h := s.NewHistogram(`request_duration_seconds{path="/foo/bar"}`)
	h.Update(1)
	h.Update(2)

	s.NewSummary("response_size_bytes").Update(1)

	// Dump metrics from s.
	var bb bytes.Buffer
	s.WritePrometheus(&bb)
	fmt.Printf("set metrics:\n%s\n", bb.String())

}

Output:

set metrics:
# HELP request_duration_seconds
# TYPE request_duration_seconds histogram
request_duration_seconds_bucket{path="/foo/bar",vmrange="8.799e-01...1.000e+00"} 1

If the metadata exposition isn't enabled, then this function is no-op.

func WriteProcessMetrics 

func WriteProcessMetrics(w io.Writer)

WriteProcessMetrics writes additional process metrics in Prometheus format to w.

The following `go_*` and `process_*` metrics are exposed for the currently running process. Below is a short description for the exposed `process_*` metrics:

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)
})

See also WriteFDMetrics.

func WritePrometheus 

func WritePrometheus(w io.Writer, exposeProcessMetrics bool)

WritePrometheus writes all the metrics in Prometheus format from the default set, all the added sets and metrics writers to w.

Additional sets can be registered via RegisterSet() call. Additional metric writers can be registered via RegisterMetricsWriter() call.

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)
})

type Histogram 

type Histogram struct {

}

Histogram is a histogram for non-negative values with automatically created buckets.

See https://medium.com/@valyala/improving-histogram-usability-for-prometheus-and-grafana-bc7e5df0e350

Each bucket contains a counter for values in the given range. Each non-empty bucket is exposed via the following metric: 

<metric_name>_bucket{<optional_tags>,vmrange="<start>...<end>"} <counter>

Where:

Histogram buckets can be converted to Prometheus-like buckets with `le` labels with `prometheus_buckets(<metric_name>_bucket)` function from PromQL extensions in VictoriaMetrics. (see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/ ): 

prometheus_buckets(request_duration_bucket)

Time series produced by the Histogram have better compression ratio comparing to Prometheus histogram buckets with `le` labels, since they don't include counters for all the previous buckets.

Zero histogram is usable.

Example

Code: 

{
	// Define a histogram in global scope.
	var h = metrics.NewHistogram(`request_duration_seconds{path="/foo/bar"}`)

	// Update the histogram with the duration of processRequest call.
	startTime := time.Now()
	processRequest()
	h.UpdateDuration(startTime)
}
Example (Vec)

Code: 

{
	for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {
		// Dynamically construct metric name and pass it to GetOrCreateHistogram.

func (*Set) InitPush 

func (s *Set) InitPush(pushURL string, interval time.Duration, extraLabels string) error

InitPush sets up periodic push for metrics from s to the given pushURL with the given interval.

extraLabels may contain comma-separated list of `label="value"` labels, which will be added to all the metrics before pushing them to pushURL.

The metrics are pushed to pushURL in Prometheus text exposition format. See https://github.com/prometheus/docs/blob/main/content/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats.md#text-based-format

It is recommended pushing metrics to /api/v1/import/prometheus endpoint according to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-import-data-in-prometheus-exposition-format

It is OK calling InitPush multiple times with different pushURL - in this case metrics are pushed to all the provided pushURL urls.

func (*Set) InitPushWithOptions 

func (s *Set) InitPushWithOptions(ctx context.Context, pushURL string, interval time.Duration, opts *PushOptions) error

InitPushWithOptions sets up periodic push for metrics from s to the given pushURL with the given interval.

The periodic push is stopped when the ctx is canceled. It is possible to wait until the background metrics push worker is stopped on a WaitGroup passed via opts.WaitGroup.

opts may contain additional configuration options if non-nil.

The metrics are pushed to pushURL in Prometheus text exposition format. See https://github.com/prometheus/docs/blob/main/content/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats.md#text-based-format

The returned list doesn't include metrics generated by metricsWriter passed to RegisterMetricsWriter.

func (*Set) NewCounter 

func (s *Set) NewCounter(name string) *Counter

NewCounter registers and returns new counter with the given name in the s.

name must be valid Prometheus-compatible metric with possible labels. For instance,

func (*Set) NewFloatCounter 

func (s *Set) NewFloatCounter(name string) *FloatCounter

NewFloatCounter registers and returns new FloatCounter with the given name in the s.

name must be valid Prometheus-compatible metric with possible labels. For instance,

The returned FloatCounter is safe to use from concurrent goroutines.

func (*Set) NewGauge 

func (s *Set) NewGauge(name string, f func() float64) *Gauge

NewGauge registers and returns gauge with the given name in s, which calls f to obtain gauge value.

name must be valid Prometheus-compatible metric with possible labels. For instance,

f must be safe for concurrent calls.

The returned gauge is safe to use from concurrent goroutines.

func (*Set) NewHistogram 

func (s *Set) NewHistogram(name string) *Histogram

NewHistogram creates and returns new histogram in s with the given name.

name must be valid Prometheus-compatible metric with possible labels. For instance,

The returned histogram is safe to use from concurrent goroutines.

func (*Set) NewSummary 

func (s *Set) NewSummary(name string) *Summary

NewSummary creates and returns new summary with the given name in s.

name must be valid Prometheus-compatible metric with possible labels. For instance,

The returned summary is safe to use from concurrent goroutines.

func (*Set) NewSummaryExt 

func (s *Set) NewSummaryExt(name string, window time.Duration, quantiles []float64) *Summary

NewSummaryExt creates and returns new summary in s with the given name, window and quantiles.

name must be valid Prometheus-compatible metric with possible labels. For instance,

The returned summary is safe to use from concurrent goroutines.

func (*Set) PushMetrics 

func (s *Set) PushMetrics(ctx context.Context, pushURL string, opts *PushOptions) error

PushMetrics pushes s metrics to pushURL.

opts may contain additional configuration options if non-nil.

It is recommended pushing metrics to /api/v1/import/prometheus endpoint according to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-import-data-in-prometheus-exposition-format

func (*Set) RegisterMetricsWriter 

func (s *Set) RegisterMetricsWriter(writeMetrics func(w io.Writer))

RegisterMetricsWriter registers writeMetrics callback for including metrics in the output generated by s.WritePrometheus.

The writeMetrics callback must write metrics to w in Prometheus text exposition format without timestamps and trailing comments. The last line generated by writeMetrics must end with \n. See https://github.com/prometheus/docs/blob/main/content/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats.md#text-based-format

It is OK to reguster multiple writeMetrics callbacks - all of them will be called sequentially for gererating the output at s.WritePrometheus.

func (*Set) UnregisterAllMetrics 

func (s *Set) UnregisterAllMetrics()

UnregisterAllMetrics de-registers all metrics registered in s.

It also de-registers writeMetrics callbacks passed to RegisterMetricsWriter.

func (*Set) UnregisterMetric 

func (s *Set) UnregisterMetric(name string) bool

UnregisterMetric removes metric with the given name from s.

True is returned if the metric has been removed. False is returned if the given metric is missing in s.

func (*Set) WritePrometheus 

func (s *Set) WritePrometheus(w io.Writer)

WritePrometheus writes all the metrics from s to w in Prometheus format.

type Summary 

type Summary struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Summary implements summary.

Example

Code:play  

package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics"
)

func main() {
	// Define a summary in global scope.
	var s = metrics.NewSummary(`request_duration_seconds{path="/foo/bar"}`)

	// Update the summary with the duration of processRequest call.
	startTime := time.Now()
	processRequest()
	s.UpdateDuration(startTime)
}

func processRequest() string {
	return "foobar"
}
Example (Vec)

Code:play  

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics"
)

func main() {
	for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {
		// Dynamically construct metric name and pass it to GetOrCreateSummary.
		name := fmt.Sprintf(`response_size_bytes{path=%q}`, "/foo/bar")
		response := processRequest()
		metrics.GetOrCreateSummary(name).Update(float64(len(response)))
	}
}

func processRequest() string {
	return "foobar"
}
