# Circonus metrics tracking for Go applications
2019-06-19 12:50:48 +00:00
This library supports named counters, gauges and histograms. It also provides convenience wrappers for registering latency instrumented functions with Go's builtin http server.

Initializing only requires setting an [API Token ](https://login.circonus.com/user/tokens ) at a minimum.
## Options
See [OPTIONS.md ](OPTIONS.md ) for information on all of the available cgm options.

## Example

### Bare bones minimum
A working cut-n-past example. Simply set the required environment variable `CIRCONUS_API_TOKEN` and run.
2016-07-19 23:40:41 +00:00
```go
package main
import (
2019-06-19 12:50:48 +00:00
"log"
"math/rand"
"os"
"os/signal"
"syscall"
"time"
2016-07-19 23:40:41 +00:00
2019-06-19 12:50:48 +00:00
cgm "github.com/circonus-labs/circonus-gometrics"
2016-07-19 23:40:41 +00:00
)
func main() {
2016-11-09 20:30:07 +00:00
logger := log.New(os.Stdout, "", log.LstdFlags)
2019-06-19 12:50:48 +00:00
logger.Println("Configuring cgm")
cmc := & cgm.Config{}
cmc.Debug = false // set to true for debug messages
cmc.Log = logger
// Circonus API Token key (https://login.circonus.com/user/tokens)
cmc.CheckManager.API.TokenKey = os.Getenv("CIRCONUS_API_TOKEN")
logger.Println("Creating new cgm instance")
metrics, err := cgm.NewCirconusMetrics(cmc)
if err != nil {
logger.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
src := rand.NewSource(time.Now().UnixNano())
rnd := rand.New(src)
2016-07-19 23:40:41 +00:00
2016-11-09 20:30:07 +00:00
logger.Println("Adding ctrl-c trap")
2019-06-19 12:50:48 +00:00
c := make(chan os.Signal, 2)
signal.Notify(c, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
go func() {
< -c
logger.Println("Received CTRL-C, flushing outstanding metrics before exit")
metrics.Flush()
os.Exit(0)
}()
logger.Println("Starting to send metrics")
// number of "sets" of metrics to send
max := 60
for i := 1; i < max ; i + + {
logger.Printf("\tmetric set %d of %d", i, 60)
metrics.Timing("foo", rnd.Float64()*10)
metrics.Increment("bar")
metrics.Gauge("baz", 10)
time.Sleep(time.Second)
}
metrics.SetText("fini", "complete")
logger.Println("Flushing any outstanding metrics manually")
metrics.Flush()
}
```

### HTTP Handler wrapping

```go
2016-07-19 23:40:41 +00:00
http.HandleFunc("/", metrics.TrackHTTPLatency("/", handler_func))
```
