negroniprometheus

negroni-prometheus

Prometheus middleware for negroni.

Why

Logging v. instrumentation

Instead of logging request times, it is considered best practice to provide an endpoint for instrumentation tools (like prometheus).

Installation

$ go get github.com/zbindenren/negroni-prometheus

Usage

Use this middleware like the negroni.Logger middleware (after negroni.Recovery, before every other middleware).

Take a look at the example.

What do you get

An endpoint with the following information (stripped output):

...
# HELP negroni_request_duration_milliseconds How long it took to process the request, partitioned by status code, method and HTTP path.
# TYPE negroni_request_duration_milliseconds histogram
