A Prometheus middleware to collect HTTP metrics for Axum applications.

`axum-prometheus` relies on `metrics_exporter_prometheus` as a backed to interact with Prometheus.

## Metrics

By default three HTTP metrics are tracked

- `axum_http_requests_total` (labels: endpoint, method): the total number of HTTP requests handled (counter)
- `axum_http_requests_duration_seconds` (labels: endpoint, method, status): the request duration for all HTTP requests handled (histogram)
- `axum_http_requests_pending` (labels: endpoint, method): the number of currently in-flight requests (gauge)

Note that in the future request size metric is also planned to be implemented.

### Compatibility

| Axum Version | Crate Version |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| `0.5`        | `0.1`         |
| `0.6`        | `0.2`         |

## Usage

Add `axum-prometheus` to your `Cargo.toml`.

```toml
[dependencies]
axum-prometheus = "0.2.0"
```

Then you instantiate the prometheus middleware:

```rust
use std::{net::SocketAddr, time::Duration};
use axum::{routing::get, Router};
use axum_prometheus::PrometheusMetricLayer;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (prometheus_layer, metric_handle) = PrometheusMetricLayer::pair();
    let app = Router::new()
        .route("/fast", get(|| async {}))
        .route(
            "/slow",
            get(|| async {
                tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
            }),
        )
        .route("/metrics", get(|| async move { metric_handle.render() }))
        .layer(prometheus_layer);

    let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3000));
    axum::Server::bind(&addr)
        .serve(app.into_make_service())
        .await
        .unwrap();
}
```

Note that the `/metrics` endpoint is not automatically exposed, so you need to add that as a route manually.
Calling the `/metrics` endpoint will expose your metrics:

```not_rust
axum_http_requests_total{method="GET",endpoint="/metrics"} 5
axum_http_requests_pending{method="GET",endpoint="/metrics"} 1
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="0.005"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="0.01"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="0.025"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="0.05"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="0.1"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="0.25"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="0.5"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="1"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="2.5"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="5"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="10"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_bucket{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics",le="+Inf"} 4
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_sum{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics"} 0.001997171
axum_http_requests_duration_seconds_count{method="GET",status="200",endpoint="/metrics"} 4
```

This crate is similar to (and takes inspiration from) [`actix-web-prom`](https://github.com/nlopes/actix-web-prom) and [`rocket_prometheus`](https://github.com/sd2k/rocket_prometheus),
and also builds on top of davidpdrsn's [earlier work with LifeCycleHooks](https://github.com/tower-rs/tower-http/pull/96) in `tower-http`.
