// NewExpvarCollector returns a newly allocated expvar Collector.
|
|
//
|
|
// An expvar Collector collects metrics from the expvar interface. It provides a
|
|
// quick way to expose numeric values that are already exported via expvar as
|
|
// Prometheus metrics. Note that the data models of expvar and Prometheus are
|
|
// fundamentally different, and that the expvar Collector is inherently slower
|
|
// than native Prometheus metrics. Thus, the expvar Collector is probably great
|
|
// for experiments and prototying, but you should seriously consider a more
|
|
// direct implementation of Prometheus metrics for monitoring production
|
|
// systems.
|
|
//
|
|
// The exports map has the following meaning:
|
|
//
|
|
// The keys in the map correspond to expvar keys, i.e. for every expvar key you
|
|
// want to export as Prometheus metric, you need an entry in the exports
|
|
// map. The descriptor mapped to each key describes how to export the expvar
|
|
// value. It defines the name and the help string of the Prometheus metric
|
|
// proxying the expvar value. The type will always be Untyped.
|
|
//
|
|
// For descriptors without variable labels, the expvar value must be a number or
|
|
// a bool. The number is then directly exported as the Prometheus sample
|
|
// value. (For a bool, 'false' translates to 0 and 'true' to 1). Expvar values
|
|
// that are not numbers or bools are silently ignored.
|
|
//
|
|
// If the descriptor has one variable label, the expvar value must be an expvar
|
|
// map. The keys in the expvar map become the various values of the one
|
|
// Prometheus label. The values in the expvar map must be numbers or bools again
|
|
// as above.
|
|
//
|
|
// For descriptors with more than one variable label, the expvar must be a
|
|
// nested expvar map, i.e. where the values of the topmost map are maps again
|
|
// etc. until a depth is reached that corresponds to the number of labels. The
|
|
// leaves of that structure must be numbers or bools as above to serve as the
|
|
// sample values.
|
|
//
|
|
// Anything that does not fit into the scheme above is silently ignored.
