When instrumenting code with prometheus metrics, one is required to write quite a bit of boilerplate code.
This crate will generate most of said boilerplate for you:
#[derive(prometheus_metric_storage::MetricStorage)]
#[metric(subsystem = "transport", labels("endpoint"))]
struct Metrics {
/// Number of requests that are currently inflight.
inflight: prometheus::IntGauge,
/// Number of finished requests by response code.
#[metric(labels("status"))]
requests_finished: prometheus::IntCounterVec,
/// Number of finished requests by total processing duration.
#[metric(buckets(0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8))]
requests_duration_seconds: prometheus::Histogram,
}
fn main() {
let metrics = Metrics::new(
prometheus::default_registry(),
/* endpoint = */ "0.0.0.0:8080"
).unwrap();
metrics.inflight.inc();
metrics.requests_finished.with_label_values(&["200"]).inc();
metrics.requests_duration_seconds.observe(0.015);
}
