- Deprecate Untyped for direct instrumentation. - Add a SetToCurrentTime method to Gauge Note that adding the SetToCurrentTime method is not really following Go's principle of lean interfaces. However, the Gauge interface is already quite fat. (The only methods really required are Set and Add. Everything else could be expressed in terms of those two.) So we have already quite a few "convenience" methods traditionally, so I think we should stay consistent here. The alternatives would be: - Not support SetToCurrentTime at all (it's only a SHOULD in the guidelines). - A top level function `SetToCurrentTime(Gauge)`. - Just a helper `CurrentTime()` that returns the curent unix time in seconds as a float (which is pretty verbose using the standard library, see code in this commit). This would allow `myGauge.Set(CurrentTime)`. Weighing all circumstances, I believe the way in this commit is the least evil. Issue #223 could be used to rework interfaces more fundamentally in a breaking change if feasible. |

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.
Instrumenting applications
The
prometheus directory
contains the instrumentation library. See the
best practices section of the
Prometheus documentation 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.
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.
