Overview ¶
Package metric provides server metrics (a.k.a. transient stats) for a CockroachDB server. These metrics are persisted to the time-series database and are viewable through the web interface and the /_status/metrics/<NODEID> HTTP endpoint.
Adding a new metric ¶
First, add the metric to a Registry.
Next, call methods such as Counter() and Rate() on the Registry to register the metric. For example:
exec := &Executor{ ... selectCount: sqlRegistry.Counter("sql.select.count"), ... }
This code block registers the metric "sql.select.count" in sql.Registry. The metric can then be accessed through the "selectCount" variable, which can be updated as follows:
func (e *Executor) doSelect() { // do the SELECT e.selectCount.Inc(1) }
To add the metric to the web UI, modify the appropriate file in "ui/ts/pages/*.ts". Someone more qualified than me can elaborate, like @maxlang.
Sub-registries ¶
It's common for a Registry to become part of another Registry through the "Add" and "MustAdd" methods.
func NewNodeStatusMonitor(serverRegistry *registry) { nodeRegistry := metric.NewRegistry() // Add the registry for this node to the root-level server Registry. When // accessed from through the serverRegistry, all metrics from the // nodeRegistry will have the prefix "cr.node.". serverRegistry.MustAdd("cr.node.%s", nodeRegistry) }
Node-level sub-registries are added by calling:
(*metric.MetricRecorder).AddNodeRegistry(YOUR_NODE_SUBREGISTRY)
Testing ¶
After your test does something to trigger your new metric update, you'll probably want to call methods in TestServer such as MustGetSQLCounter() to verify that the metric was updated correctly. See "sql/metric_test.go" for an example.
Additionally, you can manually verify that your metric is updating by using the metrics endpoint. For example, if you're running the Cockroach DB server with the "--insecure" flag, you can use access the endpoint as follows:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/_status/nodes/1 (some other output) "cr.node.sql.select.count.1": 5, (some other output)
Note that a prefix and suffix have been added. The prefix "cr.node." denotes that this metric is node-level. The suffix ".1" specifies that this metric is for node 1.

Variables ¶
var ( // Scale1M is a 1 minute window for windowed stats (e.g. Rates and Histograms). Scale1M = TimeScale{"1m", 1 * time.Minute} // Scale10M is a 10 minute window for windowed stats (e.g. Rates and Histograms). Scale10M = TimeScale{"10m", 10 * time.Minute} // Scale1H is a 1 hour window for windowed stats (e.g. Rates and Histograms). Scale1H = TimeScale{"1h", time.Hour} )
var DefaultTimeScales = []TimeScale{Scale1M, Scale10M, Scale1H}
DefaultTimeScales are the durations used for helpers which create windowed metrics in bulk (such as Latency or Rates).

RecordValue calls through to each individual Histogram.
type Iterable ¶
type Iterable interface { // GetName returns the fully-qualified name of the metric. GetName() string // GetHelp returns the help text for the metric. GetHelp() string // Inspect calls the given closure with each contained item. Inspect(func(interface{})) }

}
PrometheusExporter contains a map of metric families (a metric with multiple labels). It initializes each metric family once and reuses it for each prometheus scrape. It is NOT thread-safe. TODO(marc): we should really keep out metric objects here so we can avoid creating new prometheus.Metric every time we are scraped. see: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/9326

Inspect calls the given closure with the empty string and the Rate's current value. TODO(mrtracy): Fix this to pass the Rate object itself to 'f', to match the 'visitor' behavior as the other metric types (currently, it passes the current value of the Rate as a float64.)
func (*Rate) MarshalJSON ¶
MarshalJSON marshals to JSON.
type Rates ¶
Rates is a counter and associated EWMA backed rates at different time scales.
type Registry ¶
A Registry is a list of metrics. It provides a simple way of iterating over them, can marshal into JSON, and generate a prometheus format.
A registry can have label pairs that will be applied to all its metrics when exported to prometheus.
func (*Registry) AddMetricGroup ¶
func (r *Registry) AddMetricGroup(group metricGroup)
AddMetricGroup expands the metric group and adds all of them as individual metrics to the registry.
