Metrics list golang

[Sotirios Mantziaris]

Hi,

is it possible to get a list of registered metrics from the go client library?

I am interested in getting a list of metric name, description in order to expose them through a status page of my service.

thanks

Hi Sotirios,

You can use the Gather method on a Registry to return information on all of the registered metrics in Go. If you use the default registry, then you can use the default gatherer like:
metricFamilies, err := prometheus.DefaultGatherer.Gather()

You can see more information about the Gatherer interface in github: https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/blob/3525612fea19680dd3d49c768802ec082ca853b2/prometheus/registry.go#L139

Let me know if you have more questions!
