2/3 Added vendor/ dir to lock down dependent pkg versions.
The author of git.schwanenlied.me/yawning/{chacha20,newhope,kyber}.git has copied
their repos to gitlab.com/yawning/ but some imports of chacha20 from newhope still
inconsistently refer to git.schwanenlied.me/, breaking build.
Licenses for chacha20 also changed from CC0 to AGPL, which may or may not be an
issue. Until the two aforementioned issues are resolved, locking to last-good
versions is probably the best way forward for now.
To build with vendored deps, use make VENDOR=1 clean all

Measurable: The useless Go metric registration package that doesn't do anything
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
[](https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/hlandau/measurable.v1)
|
|
|
|
Measurable is a Go library for managing the registration of metrics such as
|
|
counters and gauges, no matter how that metric data is eventually consumed.
|
|
|
|
The most noteworthy feature of measurable is that it doesn't do anything. It
|
|
contains no functionality for providing metric data to any external service,
|
|
and it contains no actual metric implementations.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of measurable is to act as an [integration
|
|
nexus](https://www.devever.net/~hl/nexuses), essentially a matchmaker between
|
|
metric sources and metric consumers. This creates the important feature that
|
|
your application's metrics can be expressed completely independently of *how*
|
|
those metrics are exported.
|
|
|
|
Measurable doesn't implement any metric or metric export logic because it
|
|
strives to be a neutral intermediary, which abstracts the interface between
|
|
metrics and metric exporters.
|
|
|
|
**Import as:** `gopkg.in/hlandau/measurable.v1`
|
|
|
|
Measurable
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
A Measurable is an object that represents some metric. It is obliged only to
|
|
implement the following interface:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type Measurable interface {
|
|
MsName() string
|
|
MsType() Type
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Measurable is designed around interface upgrades. If you want to actually
|
|
do anything with a Measurable, you must attempt to cast it to an interface
|
|
with the methods you need. A Measurable is not obliged to implement any
|
|
interface besides Measurable, but almost always will.
|
|
|
|
Here are some common interfaces implemented by Measurables, in descending order
|
|
of importance:
|
|
|
|
- `MsName() string` — get the Measurable name.
|
|
- `MsType() Type` — get the Measurable type.
|
|
- `MsInt64() int64` — get the Measurable as an int64.
|
|
- `String() string` — the standard Go `String()` interface.
|
|
|
|
All Measurables should implement `MsName() string` and `MsType() Type`.
|
|
|
|
Measurable-specific methods should always be prefixed by `Ms` so it is clear
|
|
they are intended for consumption by Measurable consumers.
|
|
|
|
`MsName`, `MsType` and `MsInt64` should suffice for most consumers of Counter
|
|
and Gauge metric types.
|
|
|
|
Metrics should be named in lowercase using dots to create a hierarchy and
|
|
dashes to separate words, e.g. `someserver.http.request-count`. These metric
|
|
names may be transmuted by consumers as necessary for some graphing systems,
|
|
such as Prometheus (which allows only underscores).
|
|
|
|
Standard Bindings
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
For a package which makes it easy to register and consume measurables, see the
|
|
[easymetric](https://github.com/hlandau/easymetric) package.
|
|
|
|
Of course, nothing requires you to use the easymetric package. You are free to escew it and make your own.
