Crate metrics_exporter_sentry 

Metrics Exporter for Sentry.

metrics-exporter-sentry is a metrics compatible exporter which supports reporting metrics to Sentry.

Usage

use metrics_exporter_sentry::SentryRecorder;

// Setup Sentry SDK.
let _sentry = sentry::init("https://key@sentry.io/123");

// Install the exporter.
metrics::set_global_recorder(SentryRecorder::new()).unwrap();

// Metric visible in Sentry!
metrics::counter!("requests").increment(1);

Units

In Sentry units are an integral part of each metric, in fact you can emit multiple metrics with the same name but a different unit and they are treated as separate metrics!

By default all metrics are emitted with the none unit. You can change the unit using metrics describe_* macros:

use metrics::{histogram, describe_histogram, Unit};

describe_histogram!("request.duration", Unit::Seconds, "Duration of a request in seconds");
histogram!("request.duration").record(request_duration);

Or by using the special unit tag:

use metrics::histogram;

histogram!("request.duration", "unit" => "seconds").record(request_duration);

The conversion from metrics::Unit to sentry::metrics::MetricUnit is on a best effort basis and some variants of metrics::Unit are emitted as a custom Sentry unit.

When passing the unit as a tag, the unit is parsed directly as a sentry::metrics::MetricUnit, allowing you to pass units which cannot be represented as a metrics::Unit.

Generally it’s recommended to use the describe_* macros.

Incompatibilities

metrics supports operations on counters and gauges which cannot be represented in Sentry metrics.

The Counter::absolute, Gauge::increment and Gauge::decrement operations are ignored by the SentryRecorder.

Sentry supports another type of metrics, sets. At this time metrics does not support sets and thus cannot be emitted with this exporter.
