Observability Components for Golang
This module is a part of the Pip.Services polyglot microservices toolkit.
The Observability module contains observability component definitions that can be used to build applications and services.
The module contains the following packages:
- Count - performance counters
- Log - basic logging components that provide console and composite logging, as well as an interface for developing custom loggers
- Trace - tracing components
Use
Get the package from the Github repository:
go get -u github.com/pip-services4/pip-services4-go/pip-services4-observability-go@latest
Example how to use Logging and Performance counters. Here we are going to use CompositeLogger and CompositeCounters components. They will pass through calls to loggers and counters that are set in references.

"context"

}
func (c *MyComponent) Configure(ctx context.Context, config *config.ConfigParams) {
c.logger.Configure(ctx, config)
}
func (c *MyComponent) SetReferences(ctx context.Context, references refer.IReferences) {
c.logger.SetReferences(ctx, references)
c.counters.SetReferences(ctx, references)
}
func (c *MyComponent) MyMethod(ctx context.Context, param1 any) {
c.logger.Trace(ctx, "Executed method mycomponent.mymethod")
c.counters.Increment(ctx, "mycomponent.mymethod.exec_count", 1)
timing := c.counters.BeginTiming(ctx, "mycomponent.mymethod.exec_time")
defer timing.EndTiming(ctx)
// ....
if err != nil {
c.logger.Error(ctx, err, "Failed to execute mycomponent.mymethod")
c.counters.Increment(ctx, "mycomponent.mymethod.error_count", 1)
}
}
Develop
For development you shall install the following prerequisites:
- Golang v1.20+
- Visual Studio Code or another IDE of your choice
- Docker
- Git
Run automated tests:
go test -v ./test/...
Generate API documentation:
./docgen.ps1
Before committing changes run dockerized test as:
./test.ps1
./clear.ps1
