//! Metrics component.
//!
//! The metrics component renders metrics upon request.
//!
//! # Adding metrics to a component
//!
//! When adding metrics to an existing component, there are a few guidelines that should in general
//! be followed:
//!
//! 1. For a component `XYZ`, there should be a `XYZMetrics` struct that is one of its fields that
//!    holds all of the `Collectors` (`Counter`s, etc) to make it easy to find all of the metrics
//!    for a component in one place.
//!
//!    Creation and instantiation of this component happens inside the `reactor::Reactor::new`
//!    function, which is passed in a `prometheus::Registry` (see 2.).
//!
//! 2. Instantiation of an `XYZMetrics` struct should always be combined with registering all of
//!    the metrics on a registry. For this reason it is advisable to have the `XYZMetrics::new`
//!    method take a `prometheus::Registry` and register it directly.
//!
//! 3. Updating metrics is done inside the `handle_event` function by simply calling methods on the
//!    fields of `self.metrics` (`: XYZMetrics`). **Important**: Metrics should never be read to
//!    prevent any actual logic depending on them. If a counter is being increment as a metric and
//!    also required for business logic, a second counter should be kept in the component's state.
