Circonus metrics tracking for Go applications
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 at a minimum.
Options
See 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.
package main
import (
"log"
"math/rand"
"os"
"os/signal"
"syscall"
"time"
cgm "github.com/circonus-labs/circonus-gometrics"
)
func main() {
logger := log.New(os.Stdout, "", log.LstdFlags)
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)
logger.Println("Starting cgm internal auto-flush timer")
metrics.Start()
logger.Println("Adding ctrl-c trap")
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
http.HandleFunc("/", metrics.TrackHTTPLatency("/", handler_func))
