* Rename *Provider names There is overlap in naming with MeterProviders and TracerProviders. This is means the specification is not implemented and these types can not exist in the same package (#1179). This makes each type and related functions and types explicit. * Add changes to CHANGELOG

// Package metric provides support for reporting measurements using instruments.
|
|
//
|
|
// Instruments are categorized as below:
|
|
//
|
|
// Synchronous instruments are called by the user with a Context.
|
|
// Asynchronous instruments are called by the SDK during collection.
|
|
//
|
|
// Additive instruments are semantically intended for capturing a sum.
|
|
// Non-additive instruments are intended for capturing a distribution.
|
|
//
|
|
// Additive instruments may be monotonic, in which case they are
|
|
// non-descreasing and naturally define a rate.
|
|
//
|
|
// The synchronous instrument names are:
|
|
//
|
|
// Counter: additive, monotonic
|
|
// UpDownCounter: additive
|
|
// ValueRecorder: non-additive
|
|
//
|
|
// and the asynchronous instruments are:
|
|
//
|
|
// SumObserver: additive, monotonic
|
|
// UpDownSumObserver: additive
|
|
// ValueObserver: non-additive
|
|
//
|
|
// All instruments are provided with support for either float64 or
|
|
// int64 input values.
|
|
//
|
|
// The Meter interface supports allocating new instruments as well as
|
|
// interfaces for recording batches of synchronous measurements or
|
|
// asynchronous observations. To obtain a Meter, use a MeterProvider.
|
|
//
|
|
// The MeterProvider interface supports obtaining a named Meter interface. To
|
|
// obtain a MeterProvider implementation, initialize and configure any
|
|
// compatible SDK.
