Class CacheMetricsCollector

Object

CacheMetricsCollector

All Implemented Interfaces:

MultiCollector

public class CacheMetricsCollector
extends Object
implements MultiCollector

Collect metrics from Guava's com.google.common.cache.Cache.

 // Note that `recordStats()` is required to gather non-zero statistics
 Cache<String, String> cache = CacheBuilder.newBuilder().recordStats().build();
 CacheMetricsCollector cacheMetrics = new CacheMetricsCollector();
 PrometheusRegistry.defaultRegistry.register(cacheMetrics);
 cacheMetrics.addCache("mycache", cache);

 

Exposed metrics are labeled with the provided cache name.

With the example above, sample metric names would be:

     guava_cache_hit_total{cache="mycache"} 10.0
     guava_cache_miss_total{cache="mycache"} 3.0
     guava_cache_requests_total{cache="mycache"} 13.0
     guava_cache_eviction_total{cache="mycache"} 1.0
     guava_cache_size{cache="mycache"} 5.0
 

Additionally, if the cache includes a loader, the following metrics would be provided:

     guava_cache_load_failure_total{cache="mycache"} 2.0
     guava_cache_loads_total{cache="mycache"} 7.0
     guava_cache_load_duration_seconds_count{cache="mycache"} 7.0
     guava_cache_load_duration_seconds_sum{cache="mycache"} 0.0034

Method Details

addCache

public void addCache(String cacheName,
 Cache<?,?> cache)

Add or replace the cache with the given name.

Any references any previous cache with this name is invalidated.

Parameters:

cacheName - The name of the cache, will be the metrics label value

cache - The cache being monitored

removeCache

public Cache<?,?> removeCache(String cacheName)

Remove the cache with the given name.

Any references to the cache are invalidated.

Parameters:

cacheName - cache to be removed

clear

public void clear()

Remove all caches.

Any references to all caches are invalidated.

collect

public MetricSnapshots collect()

Description copied from interface: MultiCollector

Called when the Prometheus server scrapes metrics.

Specified by:

collect in interface MultiCollector

getPrometheusNames

public List<String> getPrometheusNames()

Description copied from interface: MultiCollector

This is called in two places:

1. During registration to check if a metric with that name already exists.
2. During scrape to check if the collector can be skipped because a name filter is present and all names are excluded.

Returning an empty list means checks are omitted (registration metric always succeeds), and the collector is always scraped (if a name filter is present and all names are excluded the result is dropped).

If your collector returns a constant list of metrics that have names that do not change at runtime it is a good idea to overwrite this and return the names.
