GO - Prometheus

This package is a Prometheus implementation for metrics. In its creation, the main consideration was the ease of use.

Provides the following metric types:

Counter,
Gauge,
Histogram.

It can also provide built-in statistics (optionally) about the system and the application:

Goroutines,
Memory usage,
CPU usage.

Pprof HTTP server can be enabled to get runtime profiling data on Host:Port/debug/pprof/ endpoint.

Example usage

Initialization

Example code

p := prometheus.New(prometheus.Init{
    // Obligatory fields
    Host:        "0.0.0.0",
    Port:        prometheus.GetFreePort(),
    Environment: "test",
    AppName:     "ExampleService",

    // Optional fields
    MetricEndpoint:      "/metrics", // default: /metrics
    StatCountGoroutines: true,       // default: false
    StatMemoryUsage:     true,       // default: false
    StatCpuUsage:        true,       // default: false
    EnablePprof:         true,       // default: false, endpoint: /debug/pprof/
})

Counter

Counter is a cumulative metric that represents a single monotonically increasing counter whose value can only increase or be reset to zero on restart.

For example, you can use a counter to represent the number of requests served, tasks completed, or errors.

Example code

err := p.Counter(prometheus.CounterArgs{
    MetricName: "response_status",
    Labels:     prometheus.Labels{"handler": "MyHandler1", "statuscode": "200"},
    Value:      1,
})

if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(p.GetMetrics("response_status"))

Example output

# HELP response_status Counter created for response_status
# TYPE response_status counter
response_status{app="ExampleService",env="test",handler="MyHandler1",statuscode="200"} 1

  increase(
    response_status{app="ExampleService",env="test",handler="MyHandler1"}[5m]
  )
) by(statuscode)

Gauge

Gauge is a metric that represents a single numerical value that can arbitrarily go up and down.

Gauges are typically used for measured values like temperatures or current memory usage, but also "counts" that can go up and down, like the number of concurrent requests.

Example code

err := p.Gauge(prometheus.GaugeArgs{
    MetricName: "response_size",
    Labels:     prometheus.Labels{"handler": "MyHandler1"},
    Value:      float64(rand.Intn(100)),
})

if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(p.GetMetrics("response_size"))

Example output

# HELP response_size Gauge created for response_size
# TYPE response_size gauge
response_size{app="exampleService",env="test",handler="MyHandler1"} 52

Histogram

Histogram samples observations (usually things like request durations or response sizes) and counts them in configurable buckets. It also provides a sum of all observed values. A histogram with a base metric name of exposes multiple time series during a scrape:

cumulative counters for the observation buckets, exposed as _bucket{le=""}
the total sum of all observed values, exposed as _sum
the count of events that have been observed, exposed as _count (identical to _bucket{le="+Inf"} above)

Example code

// Elapsed time to measure the computation time
// of a given function, handler, etc...
defer func(begin time.Time) {
	err := p.Histogram(prometheus.HistogramArgs{
		MetricName: "response_time:milli_sec",
		Labels:     prometheus.Labels{"handler": "MyHandler1"},
		Buckets:    prometheus.GenerateBuckets(0.05, 0.05, 10),
		Value:      time.Since(begin).Seconds(),
	})

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}(time.Now())

func (*Object) Counter ¶

func (o *Object) Counter(args CounterArgs) (err error)

Counter is a cumulative metric that represents a single monotonically increasing counter whose value can only increase or be reset to zero on restart. For example, you can use a counter to represent the number of requests served, tasks completed, or errors.

Example ¶

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/takattila/prometheus"
)

func main() {
	p := prometheus.New(prometheus.Init{
		Host:        "0.0.0.0",
		Port:        prometheus.GetFreePort(),
		Environment: "test",
		AppName:     "ExampleCounter",
	})

	err := p.Counter(prometheus.CounterArgs{
		MetricName: "response_status",
		Labels:     prometheus.Labels{"handler": "MyHandler1", "statuscode": "200"},
		Value:      1,
	})

	fmt.Println()
	fmt.Println(p.GetMetrics("response_status"))
	fmt.Println("Error:", err)

}

Output:

# HELP response_status Counter created for response_status
# TYPE response_status counter
response_status{app="ExampleCounter",env="test",handler="MyHandler1",statuscode="200"} 1
Error: <nil>

func (*Object) Gauge ¶

func (o *Object) Gauge(args GaugeArgs) (err error)

Gauge is a metric that represents a single numerical value that can arbitrarily go up and down.

Gauges are typically used for measured values like temperatures or current memory usage, but also "counts" that can go up and down, like the number of concurrent requests.

Example ¶

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/takattila/prometheus"
)

func main() {
	p := prometheus.New(prometheus.Init{
		Host:        "0.0.0.0",
		Port:        prometheus.GetFreePort(),
		Environment: "test",
		AppName:     "ExampleGauge",
	})

	err := p.Gauge(prometheus.GaugeArgs{
		MetricName: "cpu_usage_example",
		Labels:     prometheus.Labels{"core": "0"},
		Value:      15,
	})

	fmt.Println()
	fmt.Println(p.GetMetrics("cpu_usage_example"))
	fmt.Println("Error:", err)

}

Output:

# HELP cpu_usage_example Gauge created for cpu_usage_example
# TYPE cpu_usage_example gauge
cpu_usage_example{app="ExampleGauge",core="0",env="test"} 15
Error: <nil>

func (*Object) GetMetrics ¶

func (o *Object) GetMetrics(text string) string

GetMetrics queries all metrics data which matches to 'text' string.

Example ¶

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/takattila/prometheus"
)

func main() {
	p := prometheus.New(prometheus.Init{
		Host:        "0.0.0.0",
		Port:        prometheus.GetFreePort(),
		Environment: "test",
		AppName:     "ExampleGetMetrics",
	})

	fmt.Println(p.GetMetrics("go_"))

	// Output example:
	// # HELP go_gc_duration_seconds A summary of the pause duration of garbage collection cycles.
	// # TYPE go_gc_duration_seconds summary
	// go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0"} 1.5162e-05
	// go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.25"} 1.9539e-05
	// go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.5"} 3.6708e-05
	// go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.75"} 9.2103e-05
	// go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="1"} 0.00023626
	// go_gc_duration_seconds_sum 0.000506999
	// go_gc_duration_seconds_count 7
	// # HELP go_goroutines Number of goroutines that currently exist.
	// # TYPE go_goroutines gauge
	// go_goroutines 24
}

Output:

func (*Object) Histogram ¶

func (o *Object) Histogram(args HistogramArgs) (err error)

Histogram samples observations (usually things like request durations or response sizes) and counts them in configurable buckets. It also provides a sum of all observed values.

A histogram with a base metric name of <basename> exposes multiple time series during a scrape:

cumulative counters for the observation buckets, exposed as <basename>_bucket{le="<upper inclusive bound>"}
the total sum of all observed values, exposed as <basename>_sum
the count of events that have been observed, exposed as <basename>_count (identical to <basename>_bucket{le="+Inf"} above)

Use the histogram_quantile() function to calculate quantiles from histograms or even aggregations of histograms.

A histogram is also suitable to calculate an Apdex score. When operating on buckets, remember that the histogram is cumulative.

Example ¶

package main

import (
	"log"
	"time"

	"github.com/takattila/prometheus"
)

func main() {
	p := prometheus.New(prometheus.Init{
		Host:        "0.0.0.0",
		Port:        prometheus.GetFreePort(),
		Environment: "test",
		AppName:     "ExampleHistogram",
	})

	start := time.Now()

	// Elapsed time to measure the computation time
	// of a given function, handler, etc...
	defer func(begin time.Time) {
		err := p.Histogram(prometheus.HistogramArgs{
			MetricName: "get_stat",
			Labels:     prometheus.Labels{"handler": "purchases"},
			Buckets:    prometheus.GenerateBuckets(0.5, 0.05, 5),
			Value:      time.Since(begin).Seconds(),
		})

		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
	}(start)

	time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)

	// Output example:
	// # HELP get_stat Histogram created for get_stat
	// # TYPE get_stat histogram
	// get_stat_bucket{app="ExampleHistogram",env="test",handler="purchases",le="0.05"} 0
	// get_stat_bucket{app="ExampleHistogram",env="test",handler="purchases",le="0.1"} 0

	// get_stat_count{app="ExampleHistogram",env="test",handler="purchases"} 1
}

Output:

func (*Object) StartHttpServer ¶

func (o *Object) StartHttpServer()

StartHttpServer starts providing metrics data on given host and port on the endpoint which set by (*Object).MetricsEndpoint.

Example ¶

package main

import (
	"github.com/takattila/prometheus"
)

func main() {
	p := prometheus.New(prometheus.Init{
		Host:        "0.0.0.0",
		Port:        prometheus.GetFreePort(),
		Environment: "test",
		AppName:     "ExampleStartHttpServer",
