[][src]Crate epimetheus

A simple prometheus-compatible metrics framework

A metric has a name and a value of type f64. There is a single global set of metrics which can be set or incremented from any thread.

use epimetheus::metric;

metric!(foobar).set(12.3);
metric!(foobar).add(0.7);

If you increment a metric which has never been set, it is considered to start from zero.

metric!(barqux).add(6.5);

A metric's name can include labels. Whereas the base part of a metric's name must be known at compile-time, the labels can be any runtime value which implements Display. This can be useful - but see the performance notes below.

metric!(whizzbang{user=7, admin=is_admin(7)}).add(2.0);
metric!(whizzbang{user=2, admin=is_admin(2)}).add(12.3);

The first time you update some metric, a thread is spawned which runs an extremely simple HTTP server. By default it runs on port 9898, but you can change this by setting the RUST_METRICS_PORT environment variable. Connect to the server to see the current values of all metrics. Metrics appear in the output after being updated for the first time.

$ curl localhost:9898
barqux 6.5
foobar 20
whizzbang{admin="false",user="2"} 12.3
whizzbang{admin="true",user="7"} 2

Tip: If you want to specify the metrics port in your application iteself, do this at the start of your main() function:

std::env::set_var("RUST_METRICS_PORT", "1234");

Make sure you do this before updating any metrics.
