This is the way (to record metrics)
This is the Kotlin metrics client. It uses kotlinx coroutines to manage background network interactions; you'll need to at least attach it to a framework-provided dispatcher if you don't use coroutines already. If you do then you probably know where you want to put the long-lived background job that emits metrics for your app.
Run the goodmetrics server on localhost.
dependencies {
implementation("com.kvc0:goodmetrics-kotlin:$goodmetricsVersion")
}
fun main() {
val metricsBackgroundScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default)
val (emitterJob, metricsFactory) = metricsBackgroundScope.normalConfig()
for (i in 1..1000) {
// I want to record information about each iteration of the loop so I'll record {} each iteration.
metricsFactory.record("demo_app") { metrics ->
metrics.measure("iteration", i)
metrics.dimension("random_boolean", Random.nextBoolean())
metrics.measure("random_float", Random.nextFloat())
metrics.dimension("host", Inet4Address.getLocalHost().hostName)
// for heatmaps and percentiles, record a distribution.
// Note that metricsFactory.record {} automatically records a
// "totaltime" distribution by default.
metrics.distribution("file_size", getSizeOfFile(i))
}
}
metricsBackgroundScope.cancel()
}
