Overview

Package graphite provides a Graphite backend for metrics. Metrics are batched and emitted in the plaintext protocol. For more information, see http://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/feeding-carbon.html#the-plaintext-protocol

Graphite does not have a native understanding of metric parameterization, so label values not supported. Use distinct metrics for each unique combination of label values.

Types

type Counter

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

Counter is a Graphite counter metric.

func NewCounter

func NewCounter(name string) *Counter

NewCounter returns a new usable counter metric.

func (*Counter) Add

func (c *Counter) Add(delta float64)

Add implements counter.

func (*Counter) With

func (c *Counter) With(...string) metrics.Counter

With is a no-op.

type Gauge

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

Gauge is a Graphite gauge metric.

func NewGauge

func NewGauge(name string) *Gauge

NewGauge returns a new usable Gauge metric.

func (*Gauge) Add

func (g *Gauge) Add(delta float64)

Add implements metrics.Gauge.

func (*Gauge) Set

func (g *Gauge) Set(value float64)

Set implements gauge.

func (*Gauge) With

func (g *Gauge) With(...string) metrics.Gauge

With is a no-op.

type Graphite

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

Graphite receives metrics observations and forwards them to a Graphite server. Create a Graphite object, use it to create metrics, and pass those metrics as dependencies to the components that will use them.

All metrics are buffered until WriteTo is called. Counters and gauges are aggregated into a single observation per timeseries per write. Histograms are exploded into per-quantile gauges and reported once per write.

To regularly report metrics to an io.Writer, use the WriteLoop helper method. To send to a Graphite server, use the SendLoop helper method.

func New

func New(prefix string, logger log.Logger) *Graphite

New returns a Graphite object that may be used to create metrics. Prefix is applied to all created metrics. Callers must ensure that regular calls to WriteTo are performed, either manually or with one of the helper methods.

func (*Graphite) NewCounter

func (g *Graphite) NewCounter(name string) *Counter

NewCounter returns a counter. Observations are aggregated and emitted once per write invocation.

func (*Graphite) NewGauge

func (g *Graphite) NewGauge(name string) *Gauge

NewGauge returns a gauge. Observations are aggregated and emitted once per write invocation.

func (*Graphite) NewHistogram

func (g *Graphite) NewHistogram(name string, buckets int) *Histogram

NewHistogram returns a histogram. Observations are aggregated and emitted as per-quantile gauges, once per write invocation. 50 is a good default value for buckets.

func (*Graphite) SendLoop

func (g *Graphite) SendLoop(c <-chan time.Time, network, address string)

SendLoop is a helper method that wraps WriteLoop, passing a managed connection to the network and address. Like WriteLoop, this method blocks until the channel is closed, so clients probably want to start it in its own goroutine. For typical usage, create a time.Ticker and pass its C channel to this method.

func (*Graphite) WriteLoop

func (g *Graphite) WriteLoop(c <-chan time.Time, w io.Writer)

WriteLoop is a helper method that invokes WriteTo to the passed writer every time the passed channel fires. This method blocks until the channel is closed, so clients probably want to run it in its own goroutine. For typical usage, create a time.Ticker and pass its C channel to this method.

func (*Graphite) WriteTo

func (g *Graphite) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (count int64, err error)

WriteTo flushes the buffered content of the metrics to the writer, in Graphite plaintext format. WriteTo abides best-effort semantics, so observations are lost if there is a problem with the write. Clients should be sure to call WriteTo regularly, ideally through the WriteLoop or SendLoop helper methods.

type Histogram

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

Histogram is a Graphite histogram metric. Observations are bucketed into per-quantile gauges.

func NewHistogram

func NewHistogram(name string, buckets int) *Histogram

NewHistogram returns a new usable Histogram metric.

func (*Histogram) Observe

func (h *Histogram) Observe(value float64)

Observe implements histogram.

func (*Histogram) With

func (h *Histogram) With(...string) metrics.Histogram

With is a no-op.
