How to run channelz server (in Go)

• Use RegisterChannelzServiceToServer to register channelz service to gRPC server
• Require grpc-go v1.15.0 or later
• It's also usefull for gRPC client only application, not serving gRPC server, to expose client metrics

import (
	"log"
	"net"

	"google.golang.org/grpc"
	channelzsvc "google.golang.org/grpc/channelz/service"
	"google.golang.org/grpc/reflection"
)

func main() {
	s := grpc.NewServer()
	reflection.Register(s)
	channelzsvc.RegisterChannelzServiceToServer(s)

	lis, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":8000")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to listen: %v", err)
	}

	if err := s.Serve(lis); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("err %v\n", err)
	}
}
