|
// metric package provides an API for reporting diagnostic
|
|
// measurements using three basic kinds of instruments (or four, if
|
|
// calling one special case a separate one).
|
|
//
|
|
// The three basic kinds are:
|
|
//
|
|
// - counters
|
|
// - gauges
|
|
// - measures
|
|
//
|
|
// All instruments report either float64 or int64 values.
|
|
//
|
|
// The primary object that handles metrics is Meter. The
|
|
// implementation of the Meter is provided by SDK. Normally, the Meter
|
|
// is used directly only for the LabelSet generation, batch recording
|
|
// and the bound instrument destruction.
|
|
//
|
|
// LabelSet is a set of keys and values that are in a suitable,
|
|
// optimized form to be used by Meter.
|
|
//
|
|
// Counters are instruments that are reporting a quantity or a sum. An
|
|
// example could be bank account balance or bytes downloaded. Counters
|
|
// can be created with either NewFloat64Counter or
|
|
// NewInt64Counter. Counters expect non-negative values by default to
|
|
// be reported. This can be changed with the WithMonotonic option
|
|
// (passing false as a parameter) passed to the Meter.New*Counter
|
|
// function - this allows reporting negative values. To report the new
|
|
// value, use an Add function.
|
|
//
|
|
// Gauges are instruments that are reporting a current state of a
|
|
// value. An example could be voltage or temperature. Gauges can be
|
|
// created with either NewFloat64Gauge or NewInt64Gauge. Gauges by
|
|
// default have no limitations about reported values - they can be
|
|
// less or greater than the last reported value. This can be changed
|
|
// with the WithMonotonic option passed to the New*Gauge function -
|
|
// this permits the reported values only to go up. To report a new
|
|
// value, use the Set function.
|
|
//
|
|
// Measures are instruments that are reporting values that are
|
|
// recorded separately to figure out some statistical properties from
|
|
// those values (like average). An example could be temperature over
|
|
// time or lines of code in the project over time. Measures can be
|
|
// created with either NewFloat64Measure or NewInt64Measure. Measures
|
|
// by default take only non-negative values. This can be changed with
|
|
// the WithAbsolute option (passing false as a parameter) passed to
|
|
// the New*Measure function - this allows reporting negative values
|
|
// too. To report a new value, use the Record function.
|
|
//
|
|
// All the basic kinds of instruments also support creating bound
|
|
// instruments for a potentially more efficient reporting. The bound
|
|
// instruments have the same function names as the instruments (so a
|
|
// Counter bound instrument has Add, a Gauge bound instrument has Set,
|
|
// and a Measure bound instrument has Record). Bound Instruments can
|
|
// be created with the Bind function of the respective
|
|
// instrument. When done with the bound instrument, call Unbind on it.
