Enable additional Go metrics
Enable some additioal Go runtime metrics in order to observe additional
performance data.

Enables a number of new metrics:
```
HELP go_gc_cycles_automatic_gc_cycles_total Count of completed GC cycles generated by the Go runtime.
HELP go_gc_cycles_forced_gc_cycles_total Count of completed GC cycles forced by the application.
HELP go_gc_cycles_total_gc_cycles_total Count of all completed GC cycles.
HELP go_gc_gogc_percent Heap size target percentage configured by the user, otherwise 100. This value is set by the GOGC environment variable, and the runtime/debug.SetGCPercent function.
HELP go_gc_gomemlimit_bytes Go runtime memory limit configured by the user, otherwise math.MaxInt64. This value is set by the GOMEMLIMIT environment variable, and the runtime/debug.SetMemoryLimit function.
HELP go_gc_heap_allocs_by_size_bytes Distribution of heap allocations by approximate size. Bucket counts increase monotonically. Note that this does not include tiny objects as defined by /gc/heap/tiny/allocs:objects, only tiny blocks.
HELP go_gc_heap_allocs_bytes_total Cumulative sum of memory allocated to the heap by the application.
HELP go_gc_heap_allocs_objects_total Cumulative count of heap allocations triggered by the application. Note that this does not include tiny objects as defined by /gc/heap/tiny/allocs:objects, only tiny blocks.
HELP go_gc_heap_frees_by_size_bytes Distribution of freed heap allocations by approximate size. Bucket counts increase monotonically. Note that this does not include tiny objects as defined by /gc/heap/tiny/allocs:objects, only tiny blocks.
HELP go_gc_heap_frees_bytes_total Cumulative sum of heap memory freed by the garbage collector.
HELP go_gc_heap_frees_objects_total Cumulative count of heap allocations whose storage was freed by the garbage collector. Note that this does not include tiny objects as defined by /gc/heap/tiny/allocs:objects, only tiny blocks.
HELP go_gc_heap_goal_bytes Heap size target for the end of the GC cycle.
HELP go_gc_heap_live_bytes Heap memory occupied by live objects that were marked by the previous GC.
HELP go_gc_heap_objects_objects Number of objects, live or unswept, occupying heap memory.
HELP go_gc_heap_tiny_allocs_objects_total Count of small allocations that are packed together into blocks. These allocations are counted separately from other allocations because each individual allocation is not tracked by the runtime, only their block. Each block is already accounted for in allocs-by-size and frees-by-size.
HELP go_gc_limiter_last_enabled_gc_cycle GC cycle the last time the GC CPU limiter was enabled. This metric is useful for diagnosing the root cause of an out-of-memory error, because the limiter trades memory for CPU time when the GC's CPU time gets too high. This is most likely to occur with use of SetMemoryLimit. The first GC cycle is cycle 1, so a value of 0 indicates that it was never enabled.
HELP go_gc_pauses_seconds Deprecated. Prefer the identical /sched/pauses/total/gc:seconds.
HELP go_gc_scan_globals_bytes The total amount of global variable space that is scannable.
HELP go_gc_scan_heap_bytes The total amount of heap space that is scannable.
HELP go_gc_scan_stack_bytes The number of bytes of stack that were scanned last GC cycle.
HELP go_gc_scan_total_bytes The total amount space that is scannable. Sum of all metrics in /gc/scan.
HELP go_gc_stack_starting_size_bytes The stack size of new goroutines.
HELP go_sched_gomaxprocs_threads The current runtime.GOMAXPROCS setting, or the number of operating system threads that can execute user-level Go code simultaneously.
HELP go_sched_goroutines_goroutines Count of live goroutines.
HELP go_sched_latencies_seconds Distribution of the time goroutines have spent in the scheduler in a runnable state before actually running. Bucket counts increase monotonically.
HELP go_sched_pauses_stopping_gc_seconds Distribution of individual GC-related stop-the-world stopping latencies. This is the time it takes from deciding to stop the world until all Ps are stopped. This is a subset of the total GC-related stop-the-world time (/sched/pauses/total/gc:seconds). During this time, some threads may be executing. Bucket counts increase monotonically.
HELP go_sched_pauses_stopping_other_seconds Distribution of individual non-GC-related stop-the-world stopping latencies. This is the time it takes from deciding to stop the world until all Ps are stopped. This is a subset of the total non-GC-related stop-the-world time (/sched/pauses/total/other:seconds). During this time, some threads may be executing. Bucket counts increase monotonically.
HELP go_sched_pauses_total_gc_seconds Distribution of individual GC-related stop-the-world pause latencies. This is the time from deciding to stop the world until the world is started again. Some of this time is spent getting all threads to stop (this is measured directly in /sched/pauses/stopping/gc:seconds), during which some threads may still be running. Bucket counts increase monotonically.
HELP go_sched_pauses_total_other_seconds Distribution of individual non-GC-related stop-the-world pause latencies. This is the time from deciding to stop the world until the world is started again. Some of this time is spent getting all threads to stop (measured directly in /sched/pauses/stopping/other:seconds). Bucket counts increase monotonically.

Prometheus, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, is a systems and service monitoring system. It collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts when specified conditions are observed.

The features that distinguish Prometheus from other metrics and monitoring systems are:

  • A multi-dimensional data model (time series defined by metric name and set of key/value dimensions)
  • PromQL, a powerful and flexible query language to leverage this dimensionality
  • No dependency on distributed storage; single server nodes are autonomous
  • An HTTP pull model for time series collection
  • Pushing time series is supported via an intermediary gateway for batch jobs
  • Targets are discovered via service discovery or static configuration
  • Multiple modes of graphing and dashboarding support
  • Support for hierarchical and horizontal federation

Architecture overview

Architecture overview

Install

There are various ways of installing Prometheus.

Precompiled binaries

Precompiled binaries for released versions are available in the download section on prometheus.io. Using the latest production release binary is the recommended way of installing Prometheus. See the Installing chapter in the documentation for all the details.

Docker images

Docker images are available on Quay.io or Docker Hub.

You can launch a Prometheus container for trying it out with

docker run --name prometheus -d -p 127.0.0.1:9090:9090 prom/prometheus

Prometheus will now be reachable at http://localhost:9090/.

Building from source

To build Prometheus from source code, You need:

Start by cloning the repository:

git clone https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus.git
cd prometheus

You can use the go tool to build and install the prometheus and promtool binaries into your GOPATH:

GO111MODULE=on go install github.com/prometheus/prometheus/cmd/...
prometheus --config.file=your_config.yml

However, when using go install to build Prometheus, Prometheus will expect to be able to read its web assets from local filesystem directories under web/ui/static and web/ui/templates. In order for these assets to be found, you will have to run Prometheus from the root of the cloned repository. Note also that these directories do not include the React UI unless it has been built explicitly using make assets or make build.

An example of the above configuration file can be found here.

You can also build using make build, which will compile in the web assets so that Prometheus can be run from anywhere:

make build
./prometheus --config.file=your_config.yml

The Makefile provides several targets:

  • build: build the prometheus and promtool binaries (includes building and compiling in web assets)
  • test: run the tests
  • test-short: run the short tests
  • format: format the source code
  • vet: check the source code for common errors
  • assets: build the React UI

Service discovery plugins

Prometheus is bundled with many service discovery plugins. When building Prometheus from source, you can edit the plugins.yml file to disable some service discoveries. The file is a yaml-formated list of go import path that will be built into the Prometheus binary.

After you have changed the file, you need to run make build again.

If you are using another method to compile Prometheus, make plugins will generate the plugins file accordingly.

If you add out-of-tree plugins, which we do not endorse at the moment, additional steps might be needed to adjust the go.mod and go.sum files. As always, be extra careful when loading third party code.

Building the Docker image

The make docker target is designed for use in our CI system. You can build a docker image locally with the following commands:

make promu
promu crossbuild -p linux/amd64
make npm_licenses
make common-docker-amd64

Using Prometheus as a Go Library

Remote Write

We are publishing our Remote Write protobuf independently at buf.build.

You can use that as a library:

go get buf.build/gen/go/prometheus/prometheus/protocolbuffers/go@latest

This is experimental.

Prometheus code base

In order to comply with go mod rules, Prometheus release number do not exactly match Go module releases. For the Prometheus v2.y.z releases, we are publishing equivalent v0.y.z tags.

Therefore, a user that would want to use Prometheus v2.35.0 as a library could do:

go get github.com/prometheus/prometheus@v0.35.0

This solution makes it clear that we might break our internal Go APIs between minor user-facing releases, as breaking changes are allowed in major version zero.

React UI Development

For more information on building, running, and developing on the React-based UI, see the React app's README.md.

More information

  • Godoc documentation is available via pkg.go.dev. Due to peculiarities of Go Modules, v2.x.y will be displayed as v0.x.y.
  • See the Community page for how to reach the Prometheus developers and users on various communication channels.
