The main goal of go-monitor is provide a simple and extensible way to build monitorizable long term execution processes or daemons via HTTP.

Thanks to the defaults aspects you can monitorize parameters as runtime, memory, etc. for any Go processes and daemons. As well you can create your custom aspects for monitorize custom parameters from your applications.

The recommended way to install go-monitor

go get gopkg.in/mcuadros/go-monitor.v1

Import the package:

import "gopkg.in/mcuadros/go-monitor.v1"

Start the monitor just before of the bootstrap of your code:

m := monitor.NewMonitor(":9000")
m.Start()

Now just try curl http://localhost:9000/

{
  "MemStats": {
    "Alloc": 7716521256,
    "TotalAlloc": 1935822232552,
    "Sys": 46882078488,
    ...
  },
  "Runtime": {
    "GoVersion": "go1.3.3",
    "GoOs": "linux",
    "GoArch": "amd64",
    "CpuNum": 24,
    "GoroutineNum": 21196,
    "Gomaxprocs": 24,
    "CgoCallNum": 111584
  }
}

At the / you can find all the aspects that are loaded by default, you can request other aspects through the URL /<aspect-name>,<aspect-name>

Define your custom aspect, in this case just a simple one that count the number of hits on it.

type CustomAspect struct {
  Count int
}

func (a *CustomAspect) GetStats() interface{} {
  a.Count++
  return a.Count
}

func (a *CustomAspect) Name() string {
  return "Custom"
}

func (a *CustomAspect) InRoot() bool {
  return false
}

Now just add the CustomAspect to the monitor and run it.

m := monitor.NewMonitor(":9000")
m.AddAspect(&CustomAspect{})
m.Start()

Hit http://localhost:9000/Custom and obtain:

{
  "Custom": 5
}
