It is the +// object that all API calls use to create Meters, instruments, and ultimately +// make metric measurements. Also, it is an object that should be used to +// control the life-cycle (start, flush, and shutdown) of the SDK. +// +// A MeterProvider needs to be configured to export the measured data, this is +// done by configuring it with a Reader implementation (using the WithReader +// MeterProviderOption). Readers take two forms: ones that push to an endpoint +// (NewPeriodicReader), and ones that an endpoint pulls from. See +// [go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters] for exporters that can be used as +// or with these Readers. +// +// Each Reader, when registered with the MeterProvider, can be augmented with a +// View. Views allow users that run OpenTelemetry instrumented code to modify +// the generated data of that instrumentation. +// +// The data generated by a MeterProvider needs to include information about its +// origin. A MeterProvider needs to be configured with a Resource, using the +// WithResource MeterProviderOption, to include this information. This Resource +// should be used to describe the unique runtime environment instrumented code +// is being run on. That way when multiple instances of the code are collected +// at a single endpoint their origin is decipherable. +// +// See [go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric] for more information about +// the metric API. +package metric // import "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric" |
