# obsx
Observability library for Go providing metrics (Prometheus) and tracing (OpenTelemetry) setup with consistent defaults. Creates a Prometheus registry with process/Go collectors, a metrics factory with namespace/subsystem scoping, and an OTLP gRPC tracer provider with configurable sampling.
```
go get git.codelab.vc/pkg/obsx
```
## Quick start
```go
// Tracing
shutdown, err := obsx.SetupTracer(ctx, obsx.TracerConfig{
ServiceName: "my-service",
ServiceVersion: "1.0.0",
Endpoint: "localhost:4317",
Sampler: 1.0, // sample everything
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer shutdown(ctx)
// Metrics
metrics := obsx.NewMetrics(obsx.MetricsConfig{
Namespace: "myapp",
Subsystem: "http",
})
reqCounter := metrics.Counter("requests_total", "Total HTTP requests", "method", "status")
latency := metrics.Histogram("request_duration_seconds", "Request latency", nil, "method")
http.Handle("/metrics", metrics.Handler())
```
## Components
| Component | What it does |
|-----------|-------------|
| `SetupTracer` | Initializes an OpenTelemetry tracer provider with OTLP gRPC exporter, sets it as the global provider. |
| `StartSpan` | Convenience wrapper that starts a span using the global tracer provider. |
| `Metrics` | Factory for creating Prometheus metrics with consistent namespace/subsystem naming. |
| `TracerConfig` | Configures the tracer: service name, version, OTLP endpoint, sampling ratio. |
| `MetricsConfig` | Configures the metrics factory: namespace and subsystem. |
## Tracing
`SetupTracer` creates an OTLP gRPC exporter, builds a tracer provider with batched span export and ratio-based sampling, and registers it as the global `otel.TracerProvider`. Returns a shutdown function that must be called on application exit.
```go
shutdown, err := obsx.SetupTracer(ctx, obsx.TracerConfig{
ServiceName: "orders-api",
Endpoint: "jaeger:4317",
Sampler: 0.1, // sample 10%
})
defer shutdown(ctx)
```
Start spans with the convenience helper:
```go
ctx, span := obsx.StartSpan(ctx, "process-order")
defer span.End()
```
## Metrics
`NewMetrics` creates a fresh Prometheus registry (isolated from the global default) pre-loaded with process and Go runtime collectors. All metrics created through the factory inherit the configured namespace and subsystem.
```go
m := obsx.NewMetrics(obsx.MetricsConfig{Namespace: "myapp", Subsystem: "db"})
// Counter
queries := m.Counter("queries_total", "Total queries executed", "operation")
queries.WithLabelValues("select").Inc()
// Histogram (nil buckets = prometheus.DefBuckets)
latency := m.Histogram("query_duration_seconds", "Query latency", nil, "operation")
// Gauge
conns := m.Gauge("connections_active", "Active connections", "pool")
// HTTP handler for /metrics endpoint
http.Handle("/metrics", m.Handler())
```
Access the underlying registry directly:
```go
registry := m.Registry()
```
## Requirements
Go 1.24+, [OpenTelemetry Go](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/go/), [Prometheus client_golang](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang).
