metrics - lightweight package for exporting metrics in Prometheus format

Features
  • Lightweight. Has minimal number of third-party dependencies and all these deps are small. See this article for details.
  • Easy to use. See the API docs.
  • Fast.
  • Allows exporting distinct metric sets via distinct endpoints. See Set.
  • Supports easy-to-use histograms, which just work without any tuning. Read more about VictoriaMetrics histograms at this article.
  • Can push metrics to VictoriaMetrics or to any other remote storage, which accepts metrics in Prometheus text exposition format. See these docs.
Limitations
Usage
import "github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics"

// Register various metrics.
// Metric name may contain labels in Prometheus format - see below.
var (
	// Register counter without labels.
	requestsTotal = metrics.NewCounter("requests_total")

	// Register summary with a single label.
	requestDuration = metrics.NewSummary(`requests_duration_seconds{path="/foobar/baz"}`)

	// Register gauge with two labels.
	queueSize = metrics.NewGauge(`queue_size{queue="foobar",topic="baz"}`, func() float64 {
		return float64(foobarQueue.Len())
	})

	// Register histogram with a single label.
	responseSize = metrics.NewHistogram(`response_size{path="/foo/bar"}`)
)

// ...
func requestHandler() {
	// Increment requestTotal counter.
	requestsTotal.Inc()

	startTime := time.Now()
	processRequest()
	// Update requestDuration summary.
	requestDuration.UpdateDuration(startTime)

	// Update responseSize histogram.
	responseSize.Update(responseSize)
}

// Expose the registered metrics at `/metrics` path.
http.HandleFunc("/metrics", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
	metrics.WritePrometheus(w, true)
})

// ... or push registered metrics every 10 seconds to http://victoria-metrics:8428/api/v1/import/prometheus
// with the added `instance="foobar"` label to all the pushed metrics.
metrics.InitPush("http://victoria-metrics:8428/api/v1/import/prometheus", 10*time.Second, `instance="foobar"`, true)

By default, exposed metrics do not have TYPE or HELP meta information. Call ExposeMetadata(true) in order to generate TYPE and HELP meta information per each metric.

See docs for more info.

FAQ
Why the metrics API isn't compatible with github.com/prometheus/client_golang?

Because the github.com/prometheus/client_golang is too complex and is hard to use.

Why the metrics.WritePrometheus doesn't expose documentation for each metric?

Because this documentation is ignored by Prometheus. The documentation is for users. Just give meaningful names to the exported metrics or add comments in the source code or in other suitable place explaining each metric exposed from your application.

How to implement CounterVec in metrics?

Just use GetOrCreateCounter instead of CounterVec.With. See this example for details.

Why Histogram buckets contain vmrange labels instead of le labels like in Prometheus histograms?

Buckets with vmrange labels occupy less disk space compared to Promethes-style buckets with le labels, because vmrange buckets don't include counters for the previous ranges. VictoriaMetrics provides prometheus_buckets function, which converts vmrange buckets to Prometheus-style buckets with le labels. This is useful for building heatmaps in Grafana. Additionally, its' histogram_quantile function transparently handles histogram buckets with vmrange labels.

Documentation

Overview

Package metrics implements Prometheus-compatible metrics for applications.

This package is lightweight alternative to https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang with simpler API and smaller dependencies.

Usage:

  1. Register the required metrics via New* functions.
  2. Expose them to `/metrics` page via WritePrometheus.
  3. Update the registered metrics during application lifetime.

The package has been extracted from https://victoriametrics.com/

Functions

func ExposeMetadata 

func ExposeMetadata(v bool)

ExposeMetadata allows enabling adding TYPE and HELP metadata to the exposed metrics globally.

It is safe to call this method multiple times. It is allowed to change it in runtime. ExposeMetadata is set to false by default.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"go.unistack.org/metrics"
)

func main() {
	metrics.ExposeMetadata(true)
	defer metrics.ExposeMetadata(false)

	s := metrics.NewSet()

	sc := s.NewCounter("set_counter")
	sc.Inc()

	s.NewGauge(`unused_bytes{foo="bar"}`, func() float64 { return 58 })
	s.NewGauge(`used_bytes{foo="bar"}`, func() float64 { return 42 })
	s.NewGauge(`used_bytes{foo="baz"}`, func() float64 { return 43 })

	h := s.NewHistogram(`request_duration_seconds{path="/foo/bar"}`)
	h.Update(1)
	h.Update(2)

	s.NewSummary("response_size_bytes").Update(1)

	// Dump metrics from s.
	var bb bytes.Buffer
	s.WritePrometheus(&bb)
	fmt.Printf("set metrics:\n%s\n", bb.String())

}

Output:

set metrics:
# HELP request_duration_seconds
# TYPE request_duration_seconds histogram
request_duration_seconds_bucket{path="/foo/bar",vmrange="8.799e-01...1.000e+00"} 1
request_duration_seconds_bucket{path="/foo/bar",vmrange="1.896e+00...2.154e+00"} 1
request_duration_seconds_sum{path="/foo/bar"} 3
request_duration_seconds_count{path="/foo/bar"} 2
# HELP response_size_bytes
# TYPE response_size_bytes summary

    mySet.WritePrometheus(w)
    metrics.WriteProcessMetrics(w)
})

See also WriteFDMetrics.

func WritePrometheus 

func WritePrometheus(w io.Writer, exposeProcessMetrics bool)

WritePrometheus writes all the metrics in Prometheus format from the default set, all the added sets and metrics writers to w.

Additional sets can be registered via RegisterSet() call. Additional metric writers can be registered via RegisterMetricsWriter() call.

If exposeProcessMetrics is true, then various `go_*` and `process_*` metrics are exposed for the current process.

The WritePrometheus func is usually called inside "/metrics" handler: 

http.HandleFunc("/metrics", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    metrics.WritePrometheus(w, true)
})
Example 
package main

import (
	"net/http"

	"go.unistack.org/metrics"
)

func main() {
	// Export all the registered metrics in Prometheus format at `/metrics` http path.
	http.HandleFunc("/metrics", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
		metrics.WritePrometheus(w, true)
	})
}

type Histogram 

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

Histogram is a histogram for non-negative values with automatically created buckets.

See https://medium.com/@valyala/improving-histogram-usability-for-prometheus-and-grafana-bc7e5df0e350

Each bucket contains a counter for values in the given range. Each non-empty bucket is exposed via the following metric: 

<metric_name>_bucket{<optional_tags>,vmrange="<start>...<end>"} <counter>

Where:

  • <metric_name> is the metric name passed to NewHistogram
  • <optional_tags> is optional tags for the <metric_name>, which are passed to NewHistogram
  • <start> and <end> - start and end values for the given bucket
  • <counter> - the number of hits to the given bucket during Update* calls

Histogram buckets can be converted to Prometheus-like buckets with `le` labels with `prometheus_buckets(<metric_name>_bucket)` function from PromQL extensions in VictoriaMetrics. (see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/ ): 

prometheus_buckets(request_duration_bucket)

Time series produced by the Histogram have better compression ratio comparing to Prometheus histogram buckets with `le` labels, since they don't include counters for all the previous buckets.

Zero histogram is usable.

Example 
// Define a histogram in global scope.
var h = metrics.NewHistogram(`request_duration_seconds{path="/foo/bar"}`)

// Update the histogram with the duration of processRequest call.
startTime := time.Now()
processRequest()
h.UpdateDuration(startTime)

Output:
Example (Vec) 
for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {
	// Dynamically construct metric name and pass it to GetOrCreateHistogram.
	name := fmt.Sprintf(`response_size_bytes{path=%q}`, "/foo/bar")
	response := processRequest()
	metrics.GetOrCreateHistogram(name).Update(float64(len(response)))
}

Output:

func GetOrCreateCompatibleHistogram 

func GetOrCreateCompatibleHistogram(name string) *Histogram

func GetOrCreateHistogram 

func GetOrCreateHistogram(name string) *Histogram

GetOrCreateHistogram returns registered histogram with the given name or creates new histogram if the registry doesn't contain histogram with the given name.

name must be valid Prometheus-compatible metric with possible labels. For instance,

  • foo
  • foo{bar="baz"}
  • foo{bar="baz",aaa="b"}

The returned histogram is safe to use from concurrent goroutines.

Performance tip: prefer NewHistogram instead of GetOrCreateHistogram.

func NewCompatibleHistogram 

func NewCompatibleHistogram(name string) *Histogram

func NewHistogram 

func NewHistogram(name string) *Histogram

vmrange contains "<start>...<end>" string with bucket bounds. The lower bound isn't included in the bucket, while the upper bound is included. This is required to be compatible with Prometheus-style histogram buckets with `le` (less or equal) labels.

type PushOptions 

type PushOptions struct {
	// ExtraLabels is an optional comma-separated list of `label="value"` labels, which must be added to all the metrics before pushing them to pushURL.

	// Headers is an optional list of HTTP headers to add to every push request to pushURL.
	//
	// Every item in the list must have the form `Header: value`. For example, `Authorization: Custom my-top-secret`.

	sc.Inc()
	s.NewGauge(`set_gauge{foo="bar"}`, func() float64 { return 42 })

	// Dump metrics from s.
	var bb bytes.Buffer
