OpenCensus allows +you to instrument your services and collect diagnostics data all +through your services end-to-end. + +Start with instrumenting HTTP and gRPC clients and servers, +then add additional custom instrumentation if needed. + +* [HTTP guide](https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-go/tree/master/examples/http) +* [gRPC guide](https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-go/tree/master/examples/grpc) + + +## Tags + +Tags represent propagated key-value pairs. They are propagated using `context.Context` +in the same process or can be encoded to be transmitted on the wire. Usually, this will +be handled by an integration plugin, e.g. `ocgrpc.ServerHandler` and `ocgrpc.ClientHandler` +for gRPC. + +Package tag allows adding or modifying tags in the current context. + +[embedmd]:# (internal/readme/tags.go new) +```go +ctx, err = tag.New(ctx, + tag.Insert(osKey, "macOS-10.12.5"), + tag.Upsert(userIDKey, "cde36753ed"), +) +if err != nil { + log.Fatal(err) +} +``` + +## Stats + +OpenCensus is a low-overhead framework even if instrumentation is always enabled. +In order to be so, it is optimized to make recording of data points fast +and separate from the data aggregation. + +OpenCensus stats collection happens in two stages: + +* Definition of measures and recording of data points +* Definition of views and aggregation of the recorded data + +### Recording + +Measurements are data points associated with a measure. +Recording implicitly tags the set of Measurements with the tags from the +provided context: + +[embedmd]:# (internal/readme/stats.go record) +```go +stats.Record(ctx, videoSize.M(102478)) +``` + +### Views + +Views are how Measures are aggregated. You can think of them as queries over the +set of recorded data points (measurements). + +Views have two parts: the tags to group by and the aggregation type used. + +Currently three types of aggregations are supported: +* CountAggregation is used to count the number of times a sample was recorded. +* DistributionAggregation is used to provide a histogram of the values of the samples. +* SumAggregation is used to sum up all sample values. + +[embedmd]:# (internal/readme/stats.go aggs) +```go +distAgg := view.Distribution(0, 1<<32, 2<<32, 3<<32) +countAgg := view.Count() +sumAgg := view.Sum() +``` + +Here we create a view with the DistributionAggregation over our measure. + +[embedmd]:# (internal/readme/stats.go view) +```go +if err := view.Register(&view.View{ + Name: "my.org/video_size_distribution", + Description: "distribution of processed video size over time", + Measure: videoSize, + Aggregation: view.Distribution(0, 1<<32, 2<<32, 3<<32), +}); err != nil { + log.Fatalf("Failed to subscribe to view: %v", err) +} +``` + +Subscribe begins collecting data for the view.
