This includes memory stats. To collect those, runtime.ReadMemStats // is called. This requires to “stop the world”, which usually only happens for // garbage collection (GC). Take the following implications into account when // deciding whether to use the Go collector: // // 1. The performance impact of stopping the world is the more relevant the more // frequently metrics are collected. However, with Go1.9 or later the // stop-the-world time per metrics collection is very short (~25µs) so that the // performance impact will only matter in rare cases. However, with older Go // versions, the stop-the-world duration depends on the heap size and can be // quite significant (~1.7 ms/GiB as per // https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/34937). // // 2. During an ongoing GC, nothing else can stop the world. Therefore, if the // metrics collection happens to coincide with GC, it will only complete after // GC has finished. Usually, GC is fast enough to not cause problems. However, // with a very large heap, GC might take multiple seconds, which is enough to // cause scrape timeouts in common setups. To avoid this problem, the Go // collector will use the memstats from a previous collection if // runtime.ReadMemStats takes more than 1s. However, if there are no previously // collected memstats, or their collection is more than 5m ago, the collection // will block until runtime.ReadMemStats succeeds. // // NOTE: The problem is solved in Go 1.15, see // https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19812 for the related Go issue. func NewGoCollector() prometheus.Collector { //nolint:staticcheck // Ignore SA1019 until v2. return prometheus.NewGoCollector() } // NewBuildInfoCollector returns a collector collecting a single metric // "go_build_info" with the constant value 1 and three labels "path", "version", // and "checksum". Their label values contain the main module path, version, and // checksum, respectively. The labels will only have meaningful values if the // binary is built with Go module support and from source code retrieved from // the source repository (rather than the local file system). This is usually // accomplished by building from outside of GOPATH, specifying the full address // of the main package, e.g. "GO111MODULE=on go run // github.com/prometheus/client_golang/examples/random". If built without Go // module support, all label values will be "unknown". If built with Go module // support but using the source code from the local file system, the "path" will // be set appropriately, but "checksum" will be empty and "version" will be // "(devel)". // // This collector uses only the build information for the main module. See // https://github.com/povilasv/prommod for an example of a collector for the // module dependencies. func NewBuildInfoCollector() prometheus.Collector { //nolint:staticcheck // Ignore SA1019 until v2. return prometheus.NewBuildInfoCollector() }
