Monitoring

Kitex has monitoring capability built in, but does not have any monitoring features itself, and can be extended by the interface.

The framework provides a Tracer interface. Users can implement it and inject it by WithTracer Option.

// Tracer is executed at the start and finish of an RPC.
type Tracer interface {
    Start(ctx context.Context) context.Context
    Finish(ctx context.Context)
}

The monitoring extension of prometheus is provided in kitex-contrib, usage example:

Client Side:

import (
    "github.com/kitex-contrib/monitor-prometheus"
    kClient "github.com/cloudwego/kitex/client"
)

...

client, _ := testClient.NewClient(
    "DestServiceName",
    kClient.WithTracer(prometheus.NewClientTracer(":9091", "/kitexclient")))

resp, _ := client.Send(ctx, req)

...

Server Side:

import (
    "github.com/kitex-contrib/monitor-prometheus"
    kServer "github.com/cloudwego/kitex/server"
)
func main() {...
    svr := xxxservice.NewServer(
        &myServiceImpl{},
        kServer.WithTracer(prometheus.NewServerTracer(":9092", "/kitexserver")))
    svr.Run()
    
    ...
}
