SignalFx Middleware for Gin

gin-signalfx

SignalFx Middleware for Gin

Configuration: simply provide the SignalFx token and (optionally) the service name when configuring the middleware. The hostname will also get added to the metadata, along with the service name .

Super simple usage:

import ( github.com/tingold/gin-signalfx/middleware
         github.com/gin-gonic/gin
        )
g := gin.New()
g.Use(SignalFx(Config{SignalFXKey:"INSERT KEY HERE", ServiceName: "YOUR GIN SERVICE"}))

//start gin normally
...

Upon starting the server you should start to see metrics appear in your SignalFx dashboard

The following metrics will be reported:

• Counts for each of the HTTP verbs in the format of gin.request.{verb}
