defmodule Plug.PrometheusCollector do
@moduledoc """
Plug for collecting http metrics.
To use it, just plug it into the desired module.
plug Plug.PrometheusCollector
Currently maintains two metrics.
- `http_requests_total` - Total nubmer of HTTP requests made. This one is a counter.
- `http_request_duration_microseconds` - The HTTP request latencies in microseconds. This one is a histogram.
All metrics support configurable labels:
```elixir
plug Plug.PrometheusCollector, [labels: [:method, :host]]
```
Supported labels include:
- code - http code
- method - http method
- host - requested host
- port - requested port
- scheme - request scheme (like http or https)
In fact almost any [Plug.Conn](https://hexdocs.pm/plug/Plug.Conn.html) field value can be used as metric label. Just throw PR if something is needed.
Additionaly `http_request_duration_microseconds` supports configurable bucket bounds:
```elixir
plug Plug.PrometheusCollector, [labels: [:method, :host],
request_duration_bounds: [10, 100, 1_000, 10_000, 100_000, 300_000, 500_000, 750_000, 1_000_000, 1_500_000, 2_000_000, 3_000_000]]
```
Bear in mind that bounds are ***microseconds*** (1s is 1_000_000us)
