⏱ metrics-process

This crate provides a Prometheus-style process metrics collector for the metrics crate, supporting Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. The original collector code was manually rewritten in Rust from the official Prometheus client for Go (client_golang), *BSD support code was written from scratch.

Supported Metrics

This crate supports the following metrics provided by Prometheus for process metrics.

For each platform, it is equivalent to what the official Prometheus client for Go (client_golang) provides.

[!NOTE]

Prior to version 2.0.0, the process_cpu_seconds_total metric was Gauge instead of Counter. Enable use-gauge-on-cpu-seconds-total feature to use the previous behavior.

[!NOTE]

If you only need to compile this crate on non-supported platforms, you can use the dummy feature. Enabling this feature activates a dummy collector, which returns an empty Metrics.

Usage

Use this crate with metrics-exporter-prometheus as an exporter like:

use std::thread;
use std::time::{Duration, Instant};

use metrics_exporter_prometheus::PrometheusBuilder;
use metrics_process::Collector;

let builder = PrometheusBuilder::new();
builder
    .install()
    .expect("failed to install Prometheus recorder");

let collector = Collector::default();
// Call `describe()` method to register help string.
collector.describe();

loop {
    // Periodically call `collect()` method to update information.
    collector.collect();
    thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(750));
}

Or with axum (or any web application framework you like) to collect metrics whenever the /metrics endpoint is invoked like:

use axum::{routing::get, Router};
use metrics_exporter_prometheus::PrometheusBuilder;
use metrics_process::Collector;
use tokio::net::TcpListener;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let builder = PrometheusBuilder::new();
    let handle = builder
        .install_recorder()
        .expect("failed to install Prometheus recorder");

    let collector = Collector::default();
    // Call `describe()` method to register help string.
    collector.describe();

    let app = Router::new().route(
        "/metrics",
        get(move || {
            // Collect information just before handling '/metrics'
            collector.collect();
            std::future::ready(handle.render())
        }),
    );
    let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:3000").await.unwrap();
    axum::serve(listener, app).await.unwrap();
}
