(See the Handler function for more detail.) +// +// Two more advanced metric types are the Summary and Histogram. +// +// In addition to the fundamental metric types Gauge, Counter, Summary, and +// Histogram, a very important part of the Prometheus data model is the +// partitioning of samples along dimensions called labels, which results in +// metric vectors. The fundamental types are GaugeVec, CounterVec, SummaryVec, +// and HistogramVec. +// +// Those are all the parts needed for basic usage. Detailed documentation and +// examples are provided below. +// +// Everything else this package offers is essentially for "power users" only. A +// few pointers to "power user features": +// +// All the various ...Opts structs have a ConstLabels field for labels that +// never change their value (which is only useful under special circumstances, +// see documentation of the Opts type). +// +// The Untyped metric behaves like a Gauge, but signals the Prometheus server +// not to assume anything about its type. +// +// Functions to fine-tune how the metric registry works: EnableCollectChecks, +// PanicOnCollectError, Register, Unregister, SetMetricFamilyInjectionHook. +// +// For custom metric collection, there are two entry points: Custom Metric +// implementations and custom Collector implementations. A Metric is the +// fundamental unit in the Prometheus data model: a sample at a point in time +// together with its meta-data (like its fully-qualified name and any number of +// pairs of label name and label value) that knows how to marshal itself into a +// data transfer object (aka DTO, implemented as a protocol buffer). A Collector +// gets registered with the Prometheus registry and manages the collection of +// one or more Metrics. Many parts of this package are building blocks for +// Metrics and Collectors. Desc is the metric descriptor, actually used by all +// metrics under the hood, and by Collectors to describe the Metrics to be +// collected, but only to be dealt with by users if they implement their own +// Metrics or Collectors. To create a Desc, the BuildFQName function will come +// in handy. Other useful components for Metric and Collector implementation +// include: LabelPairSorter to sort the DTO version of label pairs, +// NewConstMetric and MustNewConstMetric to create "throw away" Metrics at +// collection time, MetricVec to bundle custom Metrics into a metric vector +// Collector, SelfCollector to make a custom Metric collect itself. +// +// A good example for a custom Collector is the ExpVarCollector included in this +// package, which exports variables exported via the "expvar" package as +// Prometheus metrics. +package prometheus |
