A singleton instance that holds the state of all metrics in the application at a given point in time. The class should be instantiated globally and kept through the process lifetime.
A monotically increasing number that. E.g. the number of requests since the process started.
Type: string
Name of the metric to write. The recommended format is [namespace]/[metric-name]. E.g. ingester/queue-size
Type: number
A value to write. It's worth noting that we're always using floating-point precision for these values.
Type: object
An optional label map that denotes some specific properties you want to group by / filter on later. Please note that this map must have hashable values. Thus, you're not allowed to nest objects.
It's also worth noting that the MetricRegistry will log all permutations of the label, so please only use it to store categorical types and not, say carIds.
Example: {tableName: 'LatestCarPositions'}
Generally every time you're interested in monitoring:
- the relative change in a value (marginal difference)
- or the value relative to the time period
E.g.
- Inserted rows since last time
- Incoming HTTP requests
Please refer to log.MetricsRegistry.prototype.cumulative() for a definition of the arguments name, value and labels
An instantaneous measurement of a varying number. Per default, we will only store the value and timestamp of the latest inserted value. So if you insert two values, e.g. gauge('foo', 2) at time 0 and gauge('foo', 4) at time 2, and the metrics are scraped at time 3, we will report value=4,time=2 to the log. If you for some reason don't want this, you can specify an optional reducerFn argument:
// Function that takes the mean over all values in that timespan
const fn = (arr) => arr.reduce((a, b) => a+b)) / arr.length
// Sample some data
registry.gauge('foo', 10, null, fn)
registry.gauge('foo', 20, null, fn)
// logMetric reports value=30 and generates a timestamp
registry.logMetrics()
Every time you want to capture a state at a particular time. E.g.:
- Size of a queue at a particular time
- CPU utilization
A rule of thumb: If a value can go vary (i.e. go up and down), and it should be captured at a specific time, then it's a good candidate for a gauge.
Captures a snapshot of the image state and adds endTime=Date.now() to all objects. Afterwards all metrics are dumped to stdout using node-logutil's log.statistic function. All metrics are dumped using LOG_LEVEL=INFO, so make sure your application uses at least that log level.
This function is intended to be used together with metrics-subscriber-api
Returns all metrics as an array of objects. Example:
{
name: 'gauge-metric',
type: 'GAUGE',
value: 50,
labels: { brand: 'vw' }
}
Returns an array of strings formatted using the Prometheus exposition format The format should follow their EBNF definition, but is not tested against a parser as of this moment.
This function is intended to be exposed through a small HTTP server and used in conjunction with Prometheus in the future.

setInterval(registry.logMetrics, 30000)Determining what to output depends on the environment variable LOG_LEVEL. This variable can be DEBUG, STATISTIC, INFO, WARN, ERROR, or CRITICAL but defaults to WARN.
