The difference to // their counterparts in the prometheus package is that the promauto // constructors return Collectors that are already registered with a // registry. There are two sets of constructors. The constructors in the first // set are top-level functions, while the constructors in the other set are // methods of the Factory type. The top-level function return Collectors // registered with the global registry (prometheus.DefaultRegisterer), while the // methods return Collectors registered with the registry the Factory was // constructed with. All constructors panic if the registration fails. // // The following example is a complete program to create a histogram of normally // distributed random numbers from the math/rand package: // // package main // // import ( // "math/rand" // "net/http" // // "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus" // "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promauto" // "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promhttp" // ) // // var histogram = promauto.NewHistogram(prometheus.HistogramOpts{ // Name: "random_numbers", // Help: "A histogram of normally distributed random numbers.", // Buckets: prometheus.LinearBuckets(-3, .1, 61), // }) // // func Random() { // for { // histogram.Observe(rand.NormFloat64()) // } // } // // func main() { // go Random() // http.Handle("/metrics", promhttp.Handler()) // http.ListenAndServe(":1971", nil) // } // // Prometheus's version of a minimal hello-world program: // // package main // // import ( // "fmt" // "net/http" // // "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus" // "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promauto" // "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promhttp" // ) // // func main() { // http.Handle("/", promhttp.InstrumentHandlerCounter( // promauto.NewCounterVec( // prometheus.CounterOpts{ // Name: "hello_requests_total", // Help: "Total number of hello-world requests by HTTP code.", // }, // []string{"code"}, // ), // http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { // fmt.Fprint(w, "Hello, world!") // }), // )) // http.Handle("/metrics", promhttp.Handler()) // http.ListenAndServe(":1971", nil) // } // // A Factory is created with the With(prometheus.Registerer) function, which // enables two usage pattern. With(prometheus.Registerer) can be called once per // line: // // var ( // reg = prometheus.NewRegistry() // randomNumbers = promauto.With(reg).NewHistogram(prometheus.HistogramOpts{ // Name: "random_numbers", // Help: "A histogram of normally distributed random numbers.", // Buckets: prometheus.LinearBuckets(-3, .1, 61), // }) // requestCount = promauto.With(reg).NewCounterVec( // prometheus.CounterOpts{ // Name: "http_requests_total", // Help: "Total number of HTTP requests by status code end method.", // }, // []string{"code", "method"}, // ) // ) // // Or it can be used to create a Factory once to be used multiple times: // // var ( // reg = prometheus.NewRegistry() // factory = promauto.With(reg) // randomNumbers = factory.NewHistogram(prometheus.HistogramOpts{ // Name: "random_numbers", // Help: "A histogram of normally distributed random numbers.", // Buckets: prometheus.LinearBuckets(-3, .1, 61), // }) // requestCount = factory.NewCounterVec( // prometheus.CounterOpts{ // Name: "http_requests_total", // Help: "Total number of HTTP requests by status code end method.", // }, // []string{"code", "method"}, // ) // ) // // This appears very handy. So why are these constructors locked away in a // separate package? // // The main problem is that registration may fail, e.g. if a metric inconsistent // with the newly to be registered one is already registered. Therefore, the // Register method in the prometheus.Registerer interface returns an error, and // the same is the case for the top-level prometheus.Register function that // registers with the global registry. The prometheus package also provides // MustRegister versions for both. They panic if the registration fails, and // they clearly call this out by using the Must… idiom. Panicking is a bit // problematic here because it doesn't just happen on input provided by the // caller that is invalid on its own. Things are a bit more subtle here: Metric // creation and registration tend to be spread widely over the codebase. It can // easily happen that an incompatible metric is added to an unrelated part of // the code, and suddenly code that used to work perfectly fine starts to panic // (provided that the registration of the newly added metric happens before the // registration of the previously existing metric). This may come as an even // bigger surprise with the global registry, where simply importing another // package can trigger a panic (if the newly imported package registers metrics // in its init function). At least, in the prometheus package, creation of // metrics and other collectors is separate from registration. You first create // the metric, and then you decide explicitly if you want to register it with a // local or the global registry, and if you want to handle the error or risk a // panic. With the constructors in the promauto package, registration is // automatic, and if it fails, it will always panic. Furthermore, the // constructors will often be called in the var section of a file, which means // that panicking will happen as a side effect of merely importing a package. // // A separate package allows conservative users to entirely ignore it. And // whoever wants to use it, will do so explicitly, with an opportunity to read // this warning. // // Enjoy promauto responsibly! package promauto import "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus" // NewCounter works like the function of the same name in the prometheus package // but it automatically registers the Counter with the // prometheus.DefaultRegisterer.
