# Overview
This is the [Prometheus](http://www.prometheus.io) telemetric
instrumentation client [Go](http://golang.org) client library. It
enable authors to define process-space metrics for their servers and
expose them through a web service interface for extraction,
aggregation, and a whole slew of other post processing techniques.
