Description

A prometheus module for Nest.

Installation

$ npm install --save @digikare/nestjs-prom prom-client

How to use

Import PromModule into the root ApplicationModule

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { PromModule } from '@digikare/nestjs-prom';

@Module({
  imports: [
    PromModule.forRoot({
      defaultLabels: {
        app: 'my_app',
      }
    }),
  ]
})
export class ApplicationModule {}

Setup metric

In your module, use forMetrics() method to define the metrics needed.

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { PromModule, MetricType } from '@digikare/nest-prom';

@Module({
  imports: [
    PromModule.forMetrics([
      {
        type: MetricType.Counter,
        configuration: {
          name: 'my_counter',
          help: 'my_counter a simple counter',
        }
      },
      {
        type: MetricType.Gauge,
        configuration: {
          name: 'my_gauge',
          help: 'my_gauge a simple gauge',
        }
      },
      {
        type: MetricType.Histogram,
        configuration: {
          name: 'my_histogram',
          help: 'my_histogram a simple histogram',
        }
      },
      {
        type: MetricType.Summary,
        configuration: {
          name: 'my_summary',
          help: 'my_summary a simple summary',
        }
      }
    ]),
  ]
})
export class MyModule

And you can use @InjectCounterMetric() decorator to get the metrics

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import {
  InjectCounterMetric,
  InjectGaugeMetric,
  InjectHistogramMetric,
  InjectSummaryMetric,
  CounterMetric,
  GaugeMetric,
  HistogramMetric,
  SummaryMetric,
} from '@digikare/nest-prom';

@Injectable()
export class MyService {
  constructor(
    @InjectCounterMetric('my_counter') private readonly _counterMetric: CounterMetric,
    @InjectGaugeMetric('my_gauge') private readonly _gaugeMetric: GaugeMetric,
    @InjectHistogramMetric('my_histogram') private readonly _histogramMetric: HistogramMetric,
    @InjectSummaryMetric('my_summary') private readonly _summaryMetric: SummaryMetric,
  ) {}

  doStuff() {
    this._counterMetric.inc();
  }

  resetCounter() {
    this._counterMetric.reset();
  }
}

Metric endpoint

At the moment, no way to configure the /metrics endpoint path.

PS: If you have a global prefix, the path will be {globalPrefix}/metrics for the moment.

API

PromModule.forRoot() options

• withDefaultsMetrics: boolean (default true) enable defaultMetrics provided by prom-client
• withDefaultController: boolean (default true) add internal controller to expose /metrics endpoints
• useHttpCounterMiddleware: boolean (default false) register http_requests_total counter

Auth/security

I do not provide any auth/security for /metrics endpoints. This is not the aim of this module, but depending of the auth strategy, you can apply a middleware on /metrics to secure it.

TODO

• Update readme
  • Gauge
  • Histogram
  • Summary
• Manage registries
• Tests
• Give possibility to custom metric endpoint
• Adding example on how to secure /metrics endpoint
  • secret
  • jwt
