Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides a Go client library for instrumenting applications and querying Prometheus metrics via its HTTP API.
- Enables seamless integration of Prometheus monitoring into Go applications with support for both pull and push metric collection methods.
- Use for instrumenting Go applications to expose custom metrics for Prometheus scraping.
- Use for building Go clients that query Prometheus servers to retrieve and analyze time series data programmatically.
- Use for exporting Prometheus metrics via OpenTelemetry OTLP push protocol in environments where pull-based scraping is not feasible.

From the README
This is the Go client library for Prometheus. It has two separate parts, one for instrumenting application code, and one for creating clients that talk to the Prometheus HTTP API.
This library supports the two most recent major releases of Go. While it may function with older versions, we only provide fixes and support for the currently supported Go releases.
This repository generally follows Semantic Versioning. However, the API client in
prometheus/client_golang/api/…is still considered experimental. Breaking changes of the API client will not trigger a new major release. The same is true for selected other new features explicitly marked as EXPERIMENTAL in CHANGELOG.md.Features that require breaking changes in the stable parts of the repository are being batched up and tracked in the v2 milestone, but plans for further development of v2 at the moment.
NOTE: The initial v2 attempt is in a separate branch. We also started experimenting on a new
prometheus.V2.*APIs in the 1.x's V2 struct. Help wanted!
