Metrics Client SDK

This is the client for metrics microservice. It keeps list of metrics.

This microservice is designed to manage various metrics characterizing the operation of a process. Each metric has the following characteristics:

  • metric name
  • up to 3 types of measurements (in string format)
  • date and time is a numerical value characterizing the metric

When adding or updating a metric, statistics on the metric are automatically calculated for different time horizons (you can specify the depth of the horizon) with the calculation of the average, maximum, minimum and accumulated values ​​within each of them.

Data access is provided through a set of API functions

The microservice currently supports the following deployment options:

  • Deployment platforms: Standalone Process
  • External APIs: HTTP/REST
  • Persistence: Memory, Flat Files, MongoDB

This microservice has no dependencies on other microservices. Quick Links:

Contract

Logical contract of the microservice is presented below. For physical implementation (HTTP/REST, GRPC, Lambda, etc.), please, refer to documentation of the specific protocol.

// Create or update metric struct
class MetricUpdateV1 {
    String  name;
    int year;
    int  month;
    int day;
    int hour;
    int minute; 
    String dimension1; 
    String dimension2; 
    String dimension3; 
    double value;
}
// Metric definition struct
class MetricDefinitionV1 {
  String name;
  List<String> dimension1;
  List<String> dimension2;
  List<String> dimension3;
}
// Metric value struct
class MetricValueSetV1 {
    String name;
    int time_horizon;
    String dimension1;
    String dimension2;
    String dimension3;
    List<MetricValueV1> values;
}
// Values of metric
class MetricValueV1 {
    int year; 
    int month; 
    int day; 
    int hour; 
    int minute; 
    int count;
    double sum;
    double max;
    double min;
}
// Time horizons
class TimeHorizonV1 {
    static const Total = 0;
    static const Year = 1;
    static const Month = 2;
    static const Day = 3;
    static const Hour = 4;
    static const Minute = 5;
}

abstract class IMetricsController {
  Future<List<MetricDefinitionV1>> getMetricDefinitions(String correlationId);
  Future<MetricDefinitionV1> getMetricDefinitionByName(
      String correlationId, String name);
  Future<DataPage<MetricValueSetV1>> getMetricsByFilter(
      String correlationId, FilterParams filter, PagingParams paging);
  Future updateMetric(
      String correlationId, MetricUpdateV1 update, int maxTimeHorizon);
  Future updateMetrics(
      String correlationId, List<MetricUpdateV1> updates, int maxTimeHorizon);
}

Download

Right now the only way to get the microservice is to check it out directly from github repository

git clone git@github.com:pip-services-infrastructure/pip-clients-metrics-dart.git

Pip.Service team is working to implement packaging and make stable releases available for your as zip downloadable archieves.

Use

Inside your code get the reference to the client SDK

 import 'package:pip_clients_metrics';

Define client configuration parameters.

// Client configuration
var httpConfig = ConfigParams.fromTuples([
            'connection.protocol', 'http',
            'connection.port', 3000,
            'connection.host', 'localhost'
]);
client.configure(httpConfig);

Instantiate the client and open connection to the microservice

// Create the client instance
client = MetricssHttpClientV1();

// Connect to the microservice
try {
await client.open(null);
catch (err){
    print('Connection to the microservice failed');
    printr(err);
    return;
}
// Work with the microservice
...

Now the client is ready to perform operations:

Update if exist metric or create otherwise:

try{
    await client.updateMetric(
                    null,
                    MetricUpdateV1()
                        ..name = "metric1"
                        ..dimension1 = "A"
                        ..dimension2 = "B"
                        ..dimension3 = null
                        ..year = 2018
                        ..month = 8
                        ..day = 26
                        ..hour = 12
                        ..value = 123
                    ,
                    TimeHorizonV1.Hour);
} catch(err) {
    console.error('Update/create metric are failed');
    console.error(err);
}

Update if exist metrics or create otherwise::

try{ 
    await client.updateMetrics(
                    null,
                    [
                        MetricUpdateV1() 
                            ..name = "metric1",
                            ..dimension1 = "A",
                            ..dimension2 = "B",
                            ..dimension3 = null,
                            ..year = 2018,
                            ..month = 8,
                            ..day = 26,
                            ..hour = 13,
                            ..value = 321
                        ,
                        MetricUpdateV1() 
                            ..name = "metric2"
                            ..dimension1 = "A"
                            ..dimension2 = null
                            ..dimension3 = "C"
                            ..year = 2018
                            ..month = 8
                            ..day = 26
                            ..hour = 13
                            ..value = 321
                        }        
                    ],
                    TimeHorizonV1.Hour);
} catch(err){               
    console.error('Update/create metric are failed');
    console.error(err);                 
}    
                

Get metrics by filter:

try {    
    var page = await client.getMetricsByFilter(null,
                    FilterParams.fromTuples(["name", "metric1"]),
                    new PagingParams());
    console.log("Metrics:");
    console.log(page.data);

} catch(err) {
    console.error("Can\'t get metrics by filter");
    console.error(err);                      
}
    

Get all metrics definitions:

try {   
    var definitions = await client.getMetricDefinitions(null);
    console.log("All metrics definition:");
    console.log(definitions);
} catch (err){
                    
    console.error("Can\'t get metrics definitions");
    console.error(err);
}
    

Get metric definition by name:

try {   
    var definition = await client.getMetricDefinitionByName(
                    null, 
                    "metric2");
    console.log("Metric definition name %s:", definition.name);
    console.log(definition);
} catch(err) {
                        
    console.error("Can\'t get metrics definition by name");
    console.error(err);
}
