prometheus.Handler is deprecated according to the godoc for the package so instead we're using promhttp. Additionally, we are exposing the Registry that metrics is using so other plugins that are not inside of coredns can read the registry. Otherwise, if we kept using the Default one, there's no way to access that from outside of the coredns repo since it is vendored.
go-metrics
Go port of Coda Hale's Metrics library: https://github.com/dropwizard/metrics.
Documentation: http://godoc.org/github.com/rcrowley/go-metrics.
Usage
Create and update metrics:
c := metrics.NewCounter()
metrics.Register("foo", c)
c.Inc(47)
g := metrics.NewGauge()
metrics.Register("bar", g)
g.Update(47)
r := NewRegistry()
g := metrics.NewRegisteredFunctionalGauge("cache-evictions", r, func() int64 { return cache.getEvictionsCount() })
s := metrics.NewExpDecaySample(1028, 0.015) // or metrics.NewUniformSample(1028)
h := metrics.NewHistogram(s)
metrics.Register("baz", h)
h.Update(47)
m := metrics.NewMeter()
metrics.Register("quux", m)
m.Mark(47)
t := metrics.NewTimer()
metrics.Register("bang", t)
t.Time(func() {})
t.Update(47)
Register() is not threadsafe. For threadsafe metric registration use GetOrRegister:
t := metrics.GetOrRegisterTimer("account.create.latency", nil)
t.Time(func() {})
t.Update(47)
Periodically log every metric in human-readable form to standard error:
go metrics.Log(metrics.DefaultRegistry, 5 * time.Second, log.New(os.Stderr, "metrics: ", log.Lmicroseconds))
Periodically log every metric in slightly-more-parseable form to syslog:
w, _ := syslog.Dial("unixgram", "/dev/log", syslog.LOG_INFO, "metrics")
go metrics.Syslog(metrics.DefaultRegistry, 60e9, w)
Periodically emit every metric to Graphite using the Graphite client:
import "github.com/cyberdelia/go-metrics-graphite"
addr, _ := net.ResolveTCPAddr("tcp", "127.0.0.1:2003")
go graphite.Graphite(metrics.DefaultRegistry, 10e9, "metrics", addr)
Periodically emit every metric into InfluxDB:
NOTE: this has been pulled out of the library due to constant fluctuations in the InfluxDB API. In fact, all client libraries are on their way out. see issues #121 and #124 for progress and details.
import "github.com/vrischmann/go-metrics-influxdb"
go influxdb.Influxdb(metrics.DefaultRegistry, 10e9, &influxdb.Config{
Host: "127.0.0.1:8086",
Database: "metrics",
Username: "test",
Password: "test",
})
Periodically upload every metric to Librato using the Librato client:
Note: the client included with this repository under the librato package
has been deprecated and moved to the repository linked above.
import "github.com/mihasya/go-metrics-librato"
go librato.Librato(metrics.DefaultRegistry,
10e9, // interval
"example@example.com", // account owner email address
"token", // Librato API token
"hostname", // source
[]float64{0.95}, // percentiles to send
time.Millisecond, // time unit
)
Periodically emit every metric to StatHat:
import "github.com/rcrowley/go-metrics/stathat"
go stathat.Stathat(metrics.DefaultRegistry, 10e9, "example@example.com")
Maintain all metrics along with expvars at /debug/metrics:
This uses the same mechanism as the official expvar
but exposed under /debug/metrics, which shows a json representation of all your usual expvars
as well as all your go-metrics.
import "github.com/rcrowley/go-metrics/exp"
exp.Exp(metrics.DefaultRegistry)
Installation
go get github.com/rcrowley/go-metrics
StatHat support additionally requires their Go client:
go get github.com/stathat/go
