A Prometheus client library for Gleam, based on prometheus.erl
gleam add promgleamA 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. (Source)
import promgleam/metrics/counter.{new_counter, inc_counter}
new_counter(
registry: "default",
name: "http_requests_total",
help: "Total number of HTTP requests",
labels: [ "method", "route", "status" ],
)
inc_counter(
registry: "default",
name: "http_requests_total",
labels: [ "GET", "/", "200" ],
value: 1,
)A 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. (Source)
import promgleam/metrics/gauge.{new_gauge, set_gauge}
new_gauge(
registry: "default",
name: "cache_size",
help: "Number of items in the cache",
labels: [ "cache_name" ],
)
inc_counter(
registry: "default",
name: "cache_size",
labels: [ "users" ],
value: 123,
)A 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. (Source)
import promgleam/metrics/histogram.{new_histogram, observe_histogram}
new_histogram(
registry: "default",
name: "http_request_duration_seconds",
help: "Duration of HTTP requests in seconds",
labels: [ "method", "route", "status" ],
buckets: [ 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 ]
)
observe_histogram(
registry: "default",
name: "http_request_duration_seconds",
labels: [ "GET", "/", "200" ],
value: 0.23,
)This library provides utility functions to create buckets for a Histogram:
import promgleam/buckets.{exponential, linear}
exponential(start: 1.0, factor: 2, count: 5) // [1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 10.0]
linear(start: 1.0, step: 3.0, count: 4) // [1.0, 4.0, 7.0, 10.0]This can be done by using one of the print_as functions:
-
print_as_text- Returns aStringusing the Prometheus text-based format -
print_as_prometheus- Returns aBitArrayusing the Prometheus Protobuf format
import promgleam/print.{print_as_text, print_as_protobuf}
print_as_text(registry_name: "default")
print_as_protobuf(registry_name: "default")Further documentation can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/promgleam.
