Elixir [Prometheus.io](https://prometheus.io) client based on [Prometheus.erl](https://github.com/deadtrickster/prometheus.erl).

Starting from v3.0.0 works with Elixir >=1.6 and Erlang >=20. For older verions, please use older tags.

## Example

```elixir
defmodule ExampleInstrumenter do
  use Prometheus.Metric

  def setup do    
    Histogram.new([name: :http_request_duration_milliseconds,
                   labels: [:method],
                   buckets: [100, 300, 500, 750, 1000],
                   help: "Http Request execution time"])
  end

  def instrument(%{time: time, method: method}) do
    Histogram.observe([name: :http_request_duration_milliseconds, labels: [method]], time)
  end
end
```

or

```elixir
defmodule ExampleInstrumenter do
  use Prometheus.Metric

  @histogram [name: :http_request_duration_milliseconds,
              labels: [:method],
              buckets: [100, 300, 500, 750, 1000],
              help: "Http Request execution time"]

  def instrument(%{time: time, method: method}) do
    Histogram.observe([name: :http_request_duration_milliseconds, labels: [method]], time)
  end
end
```

Here histogram will be declared in auto-generated `@on_load` callback, i.e.
you don't have to call setup manually.

Please read how to [measure durations correctly with prometheus.ex](https://hexdocs.pm/prometheus_ex/time.html#content).

## Installation

[Available in Hex](https://hex.pm/packages/prometheus_ex), the package can be installed as:

      [{:prometheus_ex, "~> 3.0"}]
    end
    ```

2. Ensure `prometheus_ex` is started before your application:

    ```elixir
    def application do
      [applications: [:prometheus_ex]]
    end
    ```
