promts

promts is a native TypeScript based implementation of promclient.
Pronounced: Prom-tsss

Usage

Counters

Counters are monotonically increasing–counters never go down. Think http request.

    import { MetricsManager } from 'https://deno.land/x/promts@v0.1.0
    const httpTotalRequests = MetricsManager.getCounter("http_requests_total")
      .with({ service: "web" });
    httpTotalRequests.inc();

Gauges

Gauges can go up and down… Think water levels, temperature, thread counts.

    import { MetricsManager } from 'https://deno.land/x/promts@v0.1.0
    const processCount = MetricsManager.getGauge("process_count").with({app:"server"});
    processCount.inc(); // 1
    processCount.inc(3);
    processCount.dec(); 
    processCount.getTotal(); // 3

Histogram

Histograms can be though of as a list of counters. These counters each represent a bucket. Buckets have a label le which denotes the upper bound. Histograms also contain their sum and count.

    import { Histogram } from 'https://deno.land/x/promts@v0.1.0
    const histogram = new Histogram("http_request_duration");
    histogram.observe(0.01);
    histogram.observe(0.1);
    histogram.observe(5);
    histogram.observe(5);
    histogram.getCount(); // 4
    histogram.getSum();   // 10.11
    histogram.toString(); // dump to string

Dumping the metrics in prometheus format

    import { MetricsManager } from 'https://deno.land/x/promts@v0.1.0
    const metricsData = MetricsManager.toString();
