# Prometheus Rust client library

[![Test Status](https://github.com/prometheus/client_rust/actions/workflows/rust.yml/badge.svg?event=push)](https://github.com/prometheus/client_rust/actions)
[![Crate](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/prometheus-client.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/prometheus-client)
[![API](https://docs.rs/prometheus-client/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/prometheus-client)

[Rust](https://github.com/rust-lang/) client library implementation of the [Open
Metrics specification](https://github.com/OpenObservability/OpenMetrics). Allows
developers to instrument applications and thus enables operators to monitor said
applications with monitoring systems like [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/).

**Documentation**: https://docs.rs/prometheus-client/

## Goals

- No `unsafe`. Don't use unsafe Rust within the library itself.

- Type safe. Leverage Rust's type system to catch common instrumentation
  mistakes at compile time.

- Fast. Don't force users to worry about the performance impact of
  instrumentation. Instead encourage users to instrument often and extensively.

## Specification Compliance

Below is a list of properties where this client library implementation lags
behind the Open Metrics specification. Not being compliant with all requirements
(`MUST` and `MUST NOT`) of the specification is considered a bug and likely to
be fixed in the future. Contributions in all forms are most welcome.

- State set metric.

- Enforce "A Histogram MetricPoint MUST contain at least one bucket".

- Enforce "A MetricFamily MUST have a [...] UNIT metadata".

- Enforce "MetricFamily names [...] MUST be unique within a MetricSet."

- Enforce "Names SHOULD be in snake_case".

- Enforce "MetricFamily names beginning with underscores are RESERVED and MUST
  NOT be used unless specified by this standard".

- Enforce "Exposers SHOULD avoid names that could be confused with the suffixes
  that text format sample metric names use".

- Protobuf wire format. (Follow [spec
  issue](https://github.com/OpenObservability/OpenMetrics/issues/183).)

- Gauge histogram metric.

- Allow "A MetricPoint in a Metric with the type [Counter, Histogram] SHOULD have a Timestamp
  value called Created".

- Summary metric.
