Macro metrics::increment_gauge

increment_gauge!() { /* proc-macro */ }

Increments a gauge.

Gauges represent a single value that can go up or down over time, and always starts out with an initial value of zero.

Metric names are shown below using string literals, but they can also be owned String values, which includes using macros such as format! directly at the callsite. String literals are preferred for performance where possible.

Example

// A basic gauge:
increment_gauge!("some_metric_name", 42.2222);

// Specifying labels:
increment_gauge!("some_metric_name", 66.6666, "service" => "http");

// We can also pass labels by giving a vector or slice of key/value pairs:
let dynamic_val = "woo";
let labels = [("dynamic_key", format!("{}!", dynamic_val))];
increment_gauge!("some_metric_name", 42.42, &labels);

// As mentioned in the documentation, metric names also can be owned strings, including ones
// generated at the callsite via things like `format!`:
let name = String::from("some_owned_metric_name");
increment_gauge!(name, 800.85);

increment_gauge!(format!("{}_via_format", "name"), 3.14);
