A pure-Rust implementation of the [OpenMetrics] specification for transmitting cloud-native metrics at scale,
and it's compatible with [Prometheus].
[OpenMetrics]: https://github.com/prometheus/OpenMetrics/blob/main/specification/OpenMetrics.md
[Prometheus]: https://prometheus.io
## Features
- Full support for [OpenMetrics] specification
- Fast encoding in both text and (optional) protobuf exposition format
- Customizable metric types (currently a set of commonly used metric types are provided)
- Hierarchical metric organization with namespaces and subsystems
- Support for variable and constant labels
- Derive macros to simplify code (e.g., like registering metrics, label handling, etc.)
## Usage
```rust
use fastmetrics::{
derive::*,
error::Result,
format::text,
metrics::{counter::Counter, family::Family},
registry::*,
};
// Define label types
// Need to enable `derive` feature to use `#[derive(EncodeLabelSet, LabelSetSchema)]`
#[derive(Clone, Eq, PartialEq, Hash, EncodeLabelSet, LabelSetSchema)]
struct Labels {
method: Method,
status: u16,
}
// Need to enable `derive` feature to use `#[derive(EncodeLabelValue)]`
#[derive(Clone, Eq, PartialEq, Hash, EncodeLabelValue)]
enum Method {
Get,
Put,
}
// Need to enable `derive` feature to use `#[derive(Register)]`
#[derive(Default, Register)]
struct Metrics {
/// Total requests processed
requests: Counter,
/// Total HTTP requests
http_requests: Family<Labels, Counter>,
}
fn main() -> Result<()> {
// Create a registry with a namespace and some constant labels
let mut registry = Registry::builder()
.with_namespace("myapp")
.with_const_labels([("env", "prod")])
.build()?;
// Register metrics
let metrics = Metrics::default();
metrics.register(&mut registry)?;
// Update the simple counter
metrics.requests.inc();
assert_eq!(metrics.requests.total(), 1);
// Update the counter family
let labels = Labels { method: Method::Get, status: 200 };
metrics.http_requests.with_or_new(&labels, |req| req.inc());
assert_eq!(metrics.http_requests.with(&labels, |req| req.total()), Some(1));
// Export metrics in text format
let mut output = String::new();
text::encode(&mut output, ®istry)?;
println!("{}", output);
Ok(())
}
```

## Acknowledgment
I drew a lot of inspiration from the following libraries, retaining the designs I thought were good and experimenting with some different ones.
