Prometheus Metric Types: A Quick Reference

This guide explains the four core Prometheus metric types, including common "patterns" that might seem counter-intuitive at first glance.

1. Counter

Definition: A cumulative metric that represents a single monotonically increasing counter. Its value can only increase or be reset to zero on restart.

Best for: "How many times has X happened?"
Examples: Total HTTP requests, total errors, bytes received.

In a multi-language repository—for example, one that includes both Go and Ruby—you can run into conflicts around the vendor/ directory. Ruby commonly uses a vendor/ directory to store dependencies, but Go’s toolchain assumes that a vendor/ directory follows its own vendoring format (including the modules.txt file that defines vendored modules).

If Ruby’s vendor/ directory is present, the Go toolchain may attempt to interpret it as a Go vendoring directory, leading to unexpected errors.

To prevent this, configure Go to use module mode explicitly and ignore the vendor/ directory (which, in this case, is only relevant to Ruby):

Add -mod=mod to commands such as go build and go test.
Set a global flag with export GOFLAGS=-mod=mod for commands like go tool that do not expose a -mod flag directly.

Hyphen (-)

Connects words, parts of words, or numbers.

En Dash (–)

To indicate ranges or relationships.

Option (⌥) + -

Here is a simplified explanation of Bailiwick and Glue Records in the context of DNS.

What is "Bailiwick"?

In plain English, a "bailiwick" is someone’s area of authority or jurisdiction.

In DNS, it asks a simple question:

Does the Name Server live inside the domain it is supposed to manage?

	// First complete match wins.
	// Because exact children are tried before `` which is tried before `*`.
	// The most-specific rule wins without an explicit priority sort.

	"strings"

-# use perl to strip ASCII escape codes so we can copy delta's diff output
-# this is because unlike `git diff` there is no `--no-color` flag.
-# and using the classic `diff` is just hard to decipher
-delta foo.yaml bar.yaml | perl -pe 's/\x1b\[[0-9;]*[mK]//g' | pbcopy
