// Collector is the interface implemented by anything that can be used by
|
|
// Prometheus to collect metrics. A Collector has to be registered for
|
|
// collection. See Registerer.Register.
|
|
//
|
|
// The stock metrics provided by this package (Gauge, Counter, Summary,
|
|
// Histogram, Untyped) are also Collectors (which only ever collect one metric,
|
|
// namely itself). An implementer of Collector may, however, collect multiple
|
|
// metrics in a coordinated fashion and/or create metrics on the fly. Examples
|
|
// for collectors already implemented in this library are the metric vectors
|
|
// (i.e. collection of multiple instances of the same Metric but with different
|
|
// label values) like GaugeVec or SummaryVec, and the ExpvarCollector.
|
|
type Collector interface {
|
|
// Describe sends the super-set of all possible descriptors of metrics
|
|
// collected by this Collector to the provided channel and returns once
|
|
// the last descriptor has been sent. The sent descriptors fulfill the
|
|
// consistency and uniqueness requirements described in the Desc
|
|
// documentation. (It is valid if one and the same Collector sends
|
|
// duplicate descriptors. Those duplicates are simply ignored. However,
|
|
// two different Collectors must not send duplicate descriptors.) This
|
|
// method idempotently sends the same descriptors throughout the
|
|
// lifetime of the Collector. If a Collector encounters an error while
|
|
// executing this method, it must send an invalid descriptor (created
|
|
// with NewInvalidDesc) to signal the error to the registry.

|
// Collect is called by the Prometheus registry when collecting
|
|
// metrics. The implementation sends each collected metric via the
|
|
// provided channel and returns once the last metric has been sent. The
|
|
// descriptor of each sent metric is one of those returned by
|
|
// Describe. Returned metrics that share the same descriptor must differ
|
|
// in their variable label values. This method may be called
|
|
// concurrently and must therefore be implemented in a concurrency safe
|
|
// way. Blocking occurs at the expense of total performance of rendering
|
|
// all registered metrics. Ideally, Collector implementations support
|
|
// concurrent readers.
