Gauge metric, to report instantaneous values.
Behaviours: prometheus_collector, prometheus_metric.
Gauge is a metric that represents a single numerical value that can arbitrarily go up and down.
A Gauge is typically used for measured values like temperatures or current memory usage, but also "counts" that can go up and down, like the number of running processes.
Example use cases for Gauges:
-
Inprogress requests
-
Number of items in a queue
-
Free memory
-
Total memory
-
Temperature
Example:
-module(my_pool_instrumenter).
-export([setup/0,
set_size/1]).
setup() ->
prometheus_gauge:declare([{name, my_pool_size},
{help, "Pool size."}]),
prometheus_gauge:declare([{name, my_pool_checked_out},
{help, "Number of checked out sockets"}]).
set_size(Size) ->
prometheus_gauge:set(my_pool_size, Size)
track_checked_out_sockets(CheckoutFun) ->
prometheus_gauge:track_inprogress(my_pool_checked_out, CheckoutFun)..| dec/1 | Equivalent to inc(default, Name, [], -1). |
