This documentation serves to document the "look and feel" of the open source stats package. It describes the key types and the overall behavior.
OpenCensus allows users to create typed measures, record measurements, define data aggregation, and export aggregated data.
- Record API: used by the application and libraries (e.g gRPC) owners to record metrics.
- Data Aggregation API: used by the application owners to define and enable data aggregation.
- Export API: used by the specific vendors to define vendor specific exporters (e.g. Prometheus, Stackdriver, SignalFx).
- HTTP integration: document about how to instrument http frameworks.
- gRPC integration: document about how to instrument gRPC framework.
