Laravel Prometheus Metrics (Fork)

⚠️ This is a friendly fork of shureban/laravel-prometheus,
created to support predis/predis ^3.0 until the original maintainer has a chance to fix it 😄

All original functionality is preserved.
The package is designed to collect Prometheus metrics from a Laravel application using a Redis-based storage backend.

Installation

Require this package with composer using the following command:

composer require movemoveapp/laravel-prometheus

Add the following class to the providers array in config/app.php:

Shureban\LaravelPrometheus\PrometheusServiceProvider::class,

You can also publish the config file to change implementations (ie. interface to specific class).

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Shureban\LaravelPrometheus\PrometheusServiceProvider"

Update .env config, change REDIS_CLIENT from redis to predis:

REDIS_CLIENT=predis

Creating metric class

CLI supporting

You may create metrics via CLI commands

# Creating counter metric CustomCounterMetricName
php artisan make:counter CustomCounterMetricName --name={name} --labels={label_1,label_2,label_N} --description={description} --dynamic

# Creating gauge metric CustomGaugeMetricName
php artisan make:gauge CustomGaugeMetricName --name={name} --labels={label_1,label_2,label_N} --description={description} --dynamic

Option	Alias	Required	Description
name		false	Name of the metric
label		false	The metric labels list (comma separated)
description		false	The metric description
dynamic	d	false	The metric description

Manual

Create folder, where you will contain your custom metrics classes (for example app/Prometheus). Realise constructor with metric static params.

namespace App\Prometheus;

use Shureban\LaravelPrometheus\Counter;
use Shureban\LaravelPrometheus\Attributes\Name;
use Shureban\LaravelPrometheus\Attributes\Labels;

class AuthCounter extends Counter
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $name   = new Name('auth');
        $labels = new Labels(['event']);
        $help   = 'Counter of auth events';

        parent::__construct($name, $labels, $help);
    }
}

Usages

General metrics flow

Using DI (or not), increase the metric value.

use App\Prometheus\AuthCounter;

class RegisterController extends Controller
{
    public function __invoke(..., AuthCounter $counter): Response
    {
        // Registration new user logic
    
        $counter->withLabelsValues(['registration'])->inc();
    }
}

Or, if you have static list of events, you may realize following flow:

namespace App\Prometheus\Counters;

use Shureban\LaravelPrometheus\Counter;
use Shureban\LaravelPrometheus\Attributes\Name;
use Shureban\LaravelPrometheus\Attributes\Labels;

class AuthCounter extends Counter
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        //... 
    }
    
    public function registration(): void 
    {
        $this->withLabelsValues(['registration'])->inc();
    }
}

This way helps you encapsulate logic with labels, and the code seems pretty

use App\Prometheus\AuthCounter;

class RegisterController extends Controller
{
    public function __invoke(..., AuthCounter $counter): Response
    {
        // Registration new user logic
    
        $counter->registration();
    }
}

Dynamic metrics flow

Dynamic flow may help you attach more labels with different sizes

use App\Prometheus\AuthCounter;
use Shureban\LaravelPrometheus\Attributes\Labels;

class RegisterController extends Controller
{
    public function __invoke(..., DynamicAuthCounter $counter): Response
    {
        // Registration new user logic
    
        $counter->withLabels(Labels::newFromArray(['event' => 'registration', 'country' => 'US']))->inc();
        $counter->withLabels(Labels::newFromArray(['event' => 'registration', 'country' => 'US', 'browser' => 'chrome']))->inc();
        $counter->withLabels(Labels::newFromCollection($user->only(['country', 'browser'])))->inc();
    }
}

Rendering

Render metrics data in text format

Using config

In config/prometheus.php, find web_route param and set preferred route path. Default is /prometheus/metrics.

Manual

For render metrics by route, you need to provide next code:

$renderer = new RenderTextFormat();

return response($renderer->render(), Response::HTTP_OK, ['Content-Type' => RenderTextFormat::MIME_TYPE]);

of using string type hinting

return response(new RenderTextFormat(), Response::HTTP_OK, ['Content-Type' => RenderTextFormat::MIME_TYPE]);

👋 A note to Shureban

Hey bro, just keeping the package warm for you.
When you're ready — feel free to take back control.
Until then, your code is doing great in the wild.
