Prometheus Go client library
This is the Go client library for Prometheus. It has two separate parts, one for instrumenting application code, and one for creating clients that talk to the Prometheus HTTP API.
This library requires Go1.17 or later.
Important note about releases and stability
This repository generally follows Semantic Versioning. However, the API client in prometheus/client_golang/api/… is still considered experimental. Breaking changes of the API client will not trigger a new major release. The same is true for selected other new features explicitly marked as EXPERIMENTAL in CHANGELOG.md.
Features that require breaking changes in the stable parts of the repository are being batched up and tracked in the v2 milestone. The v2 development happens in a separate branch for the time being. v2 releases off that branch will happen once sufficient stability is reached. In view of the widespread use of this repository, v1 and v2 will coexist for a while to enable a convenient transition.
Instrumenting applications
The
prometheus
directory
contains the instrumentation library. See the
guide on the Prometheus
website to learn more about instrumenting applications.
The
examples
directory
contains simple examples of instrumented code.
Client for the Prometheus HTTP API
The
api/prometheus
directory
contains the client for the
Prometheus HTTP API. It allows you
to write Go applications that query time series data from a Prometheus
server. It is still in alpha stage.
Where is model
, extraction
, and text
?
The model
packages has been moved to
prometheus/common/model
.
The extraction
and text
packages are now contained in
prometheus/common/expfmt
.

For Maintainers: Release Process
To cut minor version:
- Create new branch
release-<major>.<minor>
on top of main commit you want to cut version from and push it. - Create new branch on top of release branch.
- Change
VERSION
file. - Update
CHANGELOG
(only user-impacting changes to mention). - Create PR, get it reviewed.
- Once merged, create release for
release-<major>.<minor>
tag on GitHub with<version> / <date>
title. - Announce on prometheus-announce mailing list, slack and Twitter.
- Merge release branch back to main using "merge without squashing" approach (!).
To cut patch version:
- Create branch on top of release branch you want to use.
- Cherry-pick fixes from main or add commits to fix critical bugs only for that patch release.
- Follow steps 3-8 as above.
