This is the Go client library for Prometheus. It has two separate parts, one for instrumenting application code, and one for creating clients that talk to the Prometheus HTTP API.

This library requires Go1.7 or later.

The prometheus directory contains the instrumentation library. See the best practices section of the Prometheus documentation to learn more about instrumenting applications.

The examples directory contains simple examples of instrumented code.

The api/prometheus directory contains the client for the Prometheus HTTP API. It allows you to write Go applications that query time series data from a Prometheus server. It is still in alpha stage.

The model packages has been moved to prometheus/common/model.

The extraction and text packages are now contained in prometheus/common/expfmt.
