- 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.

beorn7 dcbc5caa16 Remove local REs for label and metric names and use fast checks
All was a mess, we had duplicates of the REs for label name and metric
names here, and we sometimes used them, sometimes we used those from
common/model.

Now we are consistently using the fast checking functions from common/model.

(Tests for leading colons are included there, see
https://github.com/prometheus/common/pull/66 .)

beorn7 2fee50beaa Remove deprecated features that are esay to replace
That's the "soft" part of the deprecation: Everything that has been
marked deprecated in v0.8 or earlier and is straight-forward to
replace by a non-deprecated way, is removed here.

Sadly, this does not include the HTTP part. We first need to provide a
replacement for HTTP instrumentation (as planned for v0.8) to then
remove the deprecated parts in v0.9.

metricvec: refactor collision handling to handle equality
After increasing unit test coverage, it was found that the split
function call nature of metric matching wasn't working well in many
cases. By increasing test coverage, we've ensured that both the fast
path and fallback collision path are working appropriately.

With these changes, there is a further performance hit, but now the
results are ensured to be correct.

metricvec: handle hash collision for labeled metrics
While hash collisions are quite rare, the current state of the client
library carries a risk of merging two separate label values into a
single metric bucket. The effects are near impossible to detect and the
result will be missing or incorrect counters.

This changeset handles hash collisions by falling back to collision
resolution if multiple label values hash to the same value. This works
similar to separate chaining using a slice. Extra storage is minimized
to only the value key slice to that metrics can be differentiated
within a bucket.

In general, the cost of handling collisions is completely minimized
under normal operation. Performance does show slight increases in
certain areas, but these are more likely statistically anomalies. More
importantly, zero allocation behavior for metrics is preserved on the
fast path. Minimal allocations may be made during collision handling but
this has minimal effect.

Benchmark comparisons with and without collision resolution follow.

beorn7 a6321dd0b1 Create a "merge gatherer"
This allows to finally get rid of the infamous injection hook in the
interface. The old SetMetricFamilyInjectionHook still exist as a
deprecated function but is now implemented with the new plumbing under
the hood.

Now that we have multiple Gatherer implementation, I renamed
push.Registry to push.FromGatherer.

This commit also improves the consistency checks, which happened as a
byproduct of the refactoring to allow checking in both the "merge
gatherer" Gatherers as well as in the normal Registry.

beorn7 9c3fe750dd Expose the registry implementation and add two interfaces.
Registry is now a struct, which implements two interfaces, Registrerer
and Deliverer. The latter is particularly important as it is now the
argument type for pushes and HTTP handler construction (i.e. it is
easy to implement a custom Deliverer for testing or other
purposes). The Registerer interface is not used as a parameter type
but can (and should) be used by users of custom registries so that
they can easily do things like mocking it out for testing purposes.

With the broken up interfaces, adding MustRegister to the interface is
not such a big deal anymore (interface is still small). And since
setting the injection hook is such a rare thing to happen, it is
acceptable to not have it in any of the interfaces.

The renaming from `Collect` to `Deliver` was done to avoid confusion
with Collectors. (The registry _collects_ from the Collectors, and
then _delivers_ to the exposition mechanism.)

beorn7 cf7e1caf17 Create a public registry interface and separate out HTTP exposition
General context and approch
===========================

This is the first part of the long awaited wider refurbishment of
`client_golang/prometheus/...`. After a lot of struggling, I decided
to not go for one breaking big-bang, but cut things into smaller steps
after all, mostly to keep the changes manageable and easy to
review. I'm aiming for having the invasive breaking changes
concentrated in as few steps as possible (ideally one). Some steps
will not be breaking at all, but typically there will be breaking
changes that only affect quite special cases so that 95+% of users
will not be affected. This first step is an example for that, see
details below.

What's happening in this commit?
================================

This step is about finally creating an exported registry
interface. This could not be done by simply export the existing
internal implementation because the interface would be _way_ too
fat. This commit introduces a qutie lean `Registry` interface
(compared to the previous interval implementation). The functions that
act on the default registry are retained (with very few exceptions) so
that most use cases won't see a change. However, several of those are
deprecated now to clean up the namespace in the future.

The default registry is kept in the public variable
`DefaultRegistry`. This follows the example of the http package in the
standard library (cf. `http.DefaultServeMux`, `http.DefaultClient`)
with the same implications. (This pattern is somewhat disputed within
the Go community but I chose to go with the devil you know instead of
creating something more complex or even disallowing any changes to the
default registry. The current approach gives everybody the freedom to
not touch DefaultRegistry or to do everything with a custom registry
to play save.)

Another important part in making the registry lean is the extraction
of the HTTP exposition, which also allows for customization of the
HTTP exposition. Note that the separation of metric collection and
exposition has the side effect that managing the MetricFamily and
Metric protobuf objects in a free-list or pool isn't really feasible
anymore. By now (with better GC in more recent Go versions), the
returns were anyway dimisishing. To be effective at all, scrapes had
to happen more often than GC cycles, and even then most elements of
the protobufs (everything excetp the MetricFamily and Metric structs
themselves) would still cause allocation churn. In a future breaking
change, the signature of the Write method in the Metric interface will
be adjusted accordingly. In this commit, avoiding breakage is more
important.

The following issues are fixed by this commit (some solved "on the
fly" now that I was touching the code anyway and it would have been
stupid to port the bugs):

https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/46
https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/100
https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/170
https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/205

Documentation including examples have been amended as required.

What future changes does this commit enable?
============================================

The following items are not yet implemented, but this commit opens the
possibility of implementing these independently.

- The separation of the HTTP exposition allows the implementation of
  other exposition methods based on the Registry interface, as known
  from other Prometheus client libraries, e.g. sending the metrics to
  Graphite.
  Cf. https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/197

- The public `Registry` interface allows the implementation of
  convenience tools for testing metrics collection. Those tools can
  inspect the collected MetricFamily protobufs and compare them to
  expectation. Also, tests can use their own testing instance of a
  registry.
  Cf. https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/58

Notable non-goals of this commit
================================

Non-goals that will be tackled later
------------------------------------

The following two issues are quite closely connected to the changes in
this commit but the line has been drawn deliberately to address them
in later steps of the refurbishment:

- `InstrumentHandler` has many known problems. The plan is to create a
  saner way to conveniently intrument HTTP handlers and remove the old
  `InstrumentHandler` altogether. To keep breakage low for now, even
  the default handler to expose metrics is still using the old
  `InstrumentHandler`. This leads to weird naming inconsistencies but
  I have deemed it better to not break the world right now but do it
  in the change that provides better ways of instrumenting HTTP
  handlers.
  Cf. https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/200

- There is work underway to make the whole handling of metric
  descriptors (`Desc`) more intuitive and transparent for the user
  (including an ability for less strict checking,
  cf. https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/47). That's
  quite invasive from the perspective of the internal code, namely the
  registry. I deliberately kept those changes out of this commit.

- While this commit adds new external dependency, the effort to vendor
  anything within the library that is not visible in any exported
  types will have to be done later.

Non-goals that _might_ be tackled later
---------------------------------------

There is a strong and understandable urge to divide the `prometheus`
package into a number of sub-packages (like `registry`, `collectors`,
`http`, `metrics`, …). However, to not run into a multitude of
circular import chains, this would need to break every single existing
usage of the library. (As just one example, if the ubiquitious
`prometheus.MustRegister` (with more than 2,000 uses on GitHub alone)
is kept in the `prometheus` package, but the other registry concerns
go into a new `registry` package, then the `prometheus` package would
import the `registry` package (to call the actual register method),
while at the same time the `registry` package needs to import the
`prometheus` package to access `Collector`, `Metric`, `Desc` and
more. If we moved `MustRegister` into the `registry` package,
thousands of code lines would have to be fixed (which would be easy if
the world was a mono repo, but it is not). If we moved everything else
the proposed registry package needs into packages of their own, we
would break thousands of other code lines.)

The main problem is really the top-level functions like
`MustRegister`, `Handler`, …, which effectively pull everything into
one package. Those functions are however very convenient for the easy
and very frequent use-cases.

This problem has to be revisited later.

For now, I'm trying to keep the amount of exported names in the
package as low as possible (e.g. I unexported expvarCollector in this
commit because the NewExpvarCollector constructor is enough to export,
and it is now consistent with other collectors, like the goCollector).

Non-goals that won't be tackled anytime soon
--------------------------------------------

Something that I have played with a lot is "streaming collection",
i.e. allow an implementation of the `Registry` interface that collects
metrics incrementally and serves them while doing so. As it has turned
out, this has many many issues and makes the `Registry` interface very
clunky. Eventually, I made the call that it is unlikely we will really
implement streaming collection; and making the interface more clunky
for something that might not even happen is really a big no-no. Note
that the `Registry` interface only creates the in-memory
representation of the metric family protobufs in one go. The
serializaton onto the wire can still be handled in a streaming fashion
(which hasn't been done so far, without causing any trouble, but might
be done in the future without breaking any interfaces).

What are the breaking changes?
==============================

- Signatures of functions pushing to Pushgateway have changed to allow
  arbitrary grouping (which was planned for a long time anyway, and
  now that I had to work on the Push code anyway for the registry
  refurbishment, I finally did it,
  cf. https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/100).
  With the gained insight that pushing to the default registry is almost
  never the right thing, and now that we are breaking the Push call
  anyway, all the Push functions were moved to their own package,
  which cleans up the namespace and is more idiomatic (pushing
  Collectors is now literally done by `push.Collectors(...)`).

- The registry is doing more consistency checks by default now. Past
  creators of inconsistent metrics could have masked the problem by
  not setting `EnableCollectChecks`. Those inconsistencies will now be
  detected. (But note that a "best effort" metrics collection is now
  possible with `HandlerOpts.ErrorHandling = ContinueOnError`.)

- `EnableCollectChecks` is gone. The registry is now performing some
  of those checks anyway (see previous item), and a registry with all
  of those checks can now be created with `NewPedanticRegistry` (only
  used for testing).

- `PanicOnCollectError` is gone. This behavior can now be configured
  when creating a custom HTTP handler.

Michael Stapelberg c1370d07ca Strip trailing / from push URL.
This circumvents the following problem:
• The prometheus client library appends “/metrics/…” to the pushURL.
• When pushURL ends in a trailing slash, the URL becomes e.g.
  http://pushgateway.example.com:9091//metrics/…
• The pushgateway will reply with an HTTP 307 status code
  (temporary redirect).
• While Go’s net/http client follows redirects by default, it will only
  follow HTTP 302 (Found) and HTTP 303 (See Other) redirects for PUT and
  POST requests, which the prometheus client library uses.

Hence, when calling e.g.:

    prometheus.Push("foo", "bar", "http://pushgateway.example.com:9091/")

…your metrics would not actually get pushed successfully, but rather
you’d see the error message:

This suggested that even though the TestGoCollector test was finished, a goroutine was still hanging around. I traced it back to the call to c.Collect always sending twice of the provided channel. This change receives that second value and allows the goroutine to finish with the test.

Still can't figure out why TestHistogramConcurrency is timing out after 2 minutes :(

The new vendoring was produced by running:

    godep save -r ./examples/... ./prometheus/... ./text/... ./model/... ./extraction/...

Two things to note:

- "extraction/processor0_0_{1,2}_test.go" imported a package from
  "github.com/prometheus/prometheus", all for just one tiny testing
  function. To not have to deal with a circular vendoring dependency, I
  simply replaced the usage of the function by some in-line logic.

- godep grouped the rewritten imports slightly differently for some
  reason, but at least the standard library imports are still in a
  separate section. Not sure if it's worth manually keeping our old
  import grouping scheme or if we should simply use that godep-generated
  one.

Tobias Schmidt 7faf9e76ef Handle process collector errors gracefully
As it is expected that the process collector can fail under certain
conditions (proc information for a process only readable by root or
other user for example) and as there is currently no option to configure
the error behavior of the client, this change reverts the error
reporting introduced in 159e96f. This effectively means that errors are
simply ignored and there won't be any samples for the process_* metrics
in case of an error.

Once a user can control how to behave in case of errors returned by
collectors, this change should probably be reverted.

Bjoern Rabenstein 05059724f8 Remove the partition of summaries by HTTP status code and method.
Summaries as implemented cannot be aggregated in a meaningful
way. Partitoning them by status code and method only made sense if we
were interested in the individual latency and size of e.g. GET request
that result in status 503. In general, that's not the case. Most of
the time, the user will be interested in the latency and size of _all_
HTTP requests.

(With future changes to client_golang, we will consider making the
HTTP instrumentation configurable, e.g. to handle the case where the
user is only interested in the latency of successful requests.)
2015-01-13 14:57:37 +01:00
Bjoern Rabenstein 159e96f6c7 Allow error reporting during metrics collection and simplify Register().
Both are interface changes I want to get in before public
announcement. They only break rare usage cases, and are always easy to
fix, but still we want to avoid breaking changes after a wider
announcement of the project.

The change of Register() simply removes the return of the Collector,
which nobody was using in practice. It was just bloating the call
syntax. Note that this is different from RegisterOrGet(), which is
used at various occasions where you want to register something that
might or might not be registered already, but if it is, you want the
previously registered Collector back (because that's the relevant
one).

WRT error reporting: I first tried the obvious way of letting the
Collector methods Describe() and Collect() return error. However, I
had to conclude that that bloated _many_ calls and their handling in
very obnoxious ways. On the other hand, the case where you actually
want to report errors during registration or collection is very
rare. Hence, this approach has the wrong trade-off. The approach taken
here might at first appear clunky but is in practice quite handy,
mostly because there is almost no change for the "normal" case of "no
special error handling", but also because it plays well with the way
descriptors and metrics are handled (via channels).

Explaining the approach in more detail:

- During registration / describe: Error handling was actually already
  in place (for invalid descriptors, which carry an error anyway). I
  only added a convenience function to create an invalid descriptor
  with a given error on purpose.

- Metrics are now treated in a similar way. The Write method returns
  an error now (the only change in interface). An "invalid metric" is
  provided that can be sent via the channel to signal that that metric
  could not be collected. It alse transports an error.

NON-GOALS OF THIS COMMIT:

This is NOT yet the major improvement of the whole registry part,
where we want a public Registry interface and plenty of modular
configurations (for error handling, various auto-metrics, http
instrumentation, testing, ...). However, we can do that whole thing
without breaking existing interfaces. For now (which is a significant
issue) any error during collection will either cause a 500 HTTP
response or a panic (depending on registry config). Later, we
definitely want to have a possibility to skip (and only report
somehow) non-collectible metrics instead of aborting the whole scrape.

This rewrite had may backs and forths. In my git repository, it

I'll push this not with refs/for/master, but with refs/for/next so
that we can transition after submission in a controlled fashion.

For the review, I recommend to start with looking at godoc and in
particular the many examples. After that, continue with a line-by-line
detailed review. (The big picture is hopefully as expected after
wrapping up the discussion earlier.)

Bjoern Rabenstein ecac33bed0 Conversion back and forth between MetricFamily protobuf and text format.
The idea here is to always go via the protobufs if dealing with the
text format. That won't always be the most efficient way, but it
avoids the multiplicity of conversion routines required for direct
conversion (e.g. text format -> internal representation in the
Prometheus server). The loss of efficiency is acceptable because the
text format should not be used in high performance (high throughput,
low latency) situations anyway.

In that way, the text format stays perfectly isolated from other parts
of the code. To receive text format, just plug the conversion in
before the code path that normally reads protobufs. Correspondingly,
for sending text format, simply replace the WriteDelimited call by a
text.Create call.

Nevertheless, the conversion code itself is optimized for efficiency
and minimized memory churn (which was one of the reason for handcoding
the parser and not using a lexer/parser code generation tool).

Matt T. Proud 7efd34a6f8 Optimize fingerprinting and metric locks.
These are all simple changes we should have caught a long time ago:

1. The hashing mechanism for fingerprint label sets should have not
   allocated new objects for the actual hashing---at least not
   egregiously.  This simplifies the hash writing by just byte-
   dumping the string stream into the hasher.

2. The hashing mechanism within the scope of a metric does not care
   about the value of the label keys themselves but only of the label
   values.  The keys can be dropped from the calculation.

3. The locking mechanism for the metrics should not block on hash
   computation but rather solely on the actual mutation or critical
   section reads.

4. For scalar metrics (i.e., ones with niladic label signatures), we
   should rely on a preallocated map versus requesting a new one
   ad hoc.

This is tested with Go 1.1, so the results may yield other values
for us elsewhere:

In effect, a single metric mutation operation's lookup overhead will
move from Before::iBenchmarkLabelToSignature to
After::BenchmarkLabelValuesToSignature.  This MINIMALLY reduces
1/2 the overhead.  I would be hesitant in reading the memory
allocation statistics, for this was run with the GC still on and
thusly inaccurate per Go benchmarking documentation.

Before::BenchmarkLabelValuesToSignature never existed, so it is not
of any intrinsic value in itself.  That said, the cases that still
rely on LabelToSignature experience consistently a 1/2 drop in time.

Matt T. Proud 4956aea5ac Protocol Buffer negotiation support in handler. 2013-07-01 17:14:58 +02:00
Matt T. Proud 10dae5d108 Include relevant server model artifacts.
This commit introduces all relevant server-side artifacts such that the
Result streams can be used by external parties for one-off tools and
such.  This will ultimately better enable us to support additional
wireformats with much more ease.

Matt T. Proud 85899b3f4a Extract core Prometheus value decoders.
Bernerd had suggested extracting the value decoders and bundling them
into the client library.  After some reflection, I tend to agree with
this, since we can start breaking the onion of Prometheus itself and
localize the protocol management into its own scope.

A couple of major changes since moving:

- Protocol 0.0.2 has moved to a struct{} so that our tests can perform
  value matching, which cannot be done against function literals.

- Processing now acquires options to dictate behavioral changes of
  metrics bodies.

- Processing no longer closes the stream, thusly returning this to the
  hands of the caller.

- Process() has been renamed to ProcessSingle to better convey that it
  works on complete message bodies.  This paves the way for better
  streaming payload support that the next API version will offer.

Bernerd Schaefer af56a93a80 Rename test helper files to helpers_test.go
This ensures that these files are properly included only in testing.

[Fixes #10]

Bernerd Schaefer d4ff2cc87a Fix race conditions in metric methods
Methods which expect to use a mutex must be defined for the pointer
value, because mutexes are not copyable.

Bernerd Schaefer f60c783b29 Adhere to telemetry schema 0.0.2
* The schema and version of telemetry data is exposed through the
  Content-Type header instead of through a custom HTTP Header.

See [Prometheus Client Data Exposition Format][1] for more details.

Bernerd Schaefer 71dd60e431 Registry and Metrics implement json.Marshaler
* Drop `AsMarshallable()` from the Metric interface. Use
  `json.Marshaler` and `MarshalJSON()`, and leverage JSON struct tags
  where possible.

* Add `MarshalJSON()` to Registry and remove `dumpToWriter`, which
  makes the registry handler much simpler.

In addition to simplifying some of the marshalling behavior, this also
has the nice side effect of cutting down the number of
`map[string]interface{}` instances.
