gormetrics

A plugin for GORM providing metrics using Prometheus.

Warning: this plugin is still in an early stage of development. APIs may change.

Usage

import "github.com/profects/gormetrics"

err := gormetrics.Register(db, <database name>)
if err != nil {
	// handle the error
}

gormetrics does not expose the metrics endpoint using promhttp, you have to do this yourself. You can use the following snippet for exposing metrics on port 2112 at /metrics:

go func() {
	http.Handle("/metrics", promhttp.Handler())
	log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":2112", nil))
}()

Exported metrics

gormetrics exports the following metrics (counter vectors):

• gormetrics_all_total
• gormetrics_creates_total
• gormetrics_deletes_total
• gormetrics_queries_total
• gormetrics_updates_total

These all have the following labels:

• database: the name of the database
• driver: the driver for the database (e.g. pq)
• status: fail or success

It also export the following metrics (gauge vectors):

• gormetrics_connections_idle
• gormetrics_connections_in_use
• gormetrics_connections_open

These all have the following labels:

• database: the name of the database
• driver: the driver for the database (e.g. pq)
