Installation

Metlo for Golang has two components, the Metlo agent and instrumentation for your specific frameworks(s). To install the Metlo agent, run:

Bash
go get github.com/metlo-labs/metlo/ingestors/golang/metlo

After that you have to install the instrumentation for your framework. We currently support the following frameworks:

Gin

Bash
go get github.com/metlo-labs/metlo/ingestors/golang/gin

Gorilla/Mux

Bash
go get github.com/metlo-labs/metlo/ingestors/golang/gorilla

​
Setup

Go
import (
    "net/http"
    ...

    "github.com/metlo-labs/metlo/ingestors/golang/metlo"
    <EXPORT_NAME> "github.com/metlo-labs/metlo/ingestors/golang/<FRAMEWORK_NAME>"
)

func main() {
    metlo := metlo.InitMetlo("http://<YOUR_METLO_HOST>:8081", "<YOUR_METLO_API_KEY>")
    instrumentation := <EXPORT_NAME>.Init(metlo)

    r.Use(instrumentation.Middleware)
    ...
}

​
Customization

Metlo Custom initialization allows for modifying two extra parameters.

Go
InitMetloCustom(metloHost string, metloKey string, rps int, disable bool)
  • rps (default: 10 rps): Max requests per second to Metlo.
  • disable (default: false): To disable trace capture in certain scenarios.
