v2: Ditch Query helpers. (#17)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This PR focuses around simplification of the tsplot package. Moving away
from something that was rather perscriptive in the type of Query that
you could make and towards a package that can accept a Time Series or
Time Series Itterator from the Google Metrics API and return a rendered
graph of those Time Series.

[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/bitly/tsplot)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/bitly/tsplot)
[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/bitly/tsplot.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/bitly/tsplot)

This package provides a method of querying for raw time series data from the GCM APIs and additionally plotting that data for use in other applications.

This came to be due to what we consider a small limitation in the Google APIs which require us to re-draw graphs to include them in other applications such as
Slack bots. There is no facility in the Google API that provides a PNG of already graphed data.

## Authentication
This package makes no effort to assist in authentication to the Google APIs.
Instead, it will expect the caller to supply an authenticated client.

More information on authentication can be found in the official [Google Cloud documentation](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication).

## Query
tsplot helps to facilitate easy querying of the Google Cloud Monitoring API for time series matching the supplied criteria.
In addition it provides methods of overriding certain aspects of the query.

For example, the following code snippet will return a single time series for the following metric descriptor: `custom.googleapis.com/opencensus/fishnet/queuereader_fishnet/messages_total`.
```
func main() {
... snip ...
... snip ...
start := time.Now().Add(-1 * time.Hour)
end := time.Now()
mq := &tsplot.NewMetricQuery(
"bitly-gcp-prod", // GCP project
"custom.googleapis.com/opencensus/fishent/queuereader_fishnet/messages_total", // metric descriptor
&start, // start of time window
&end, // end of time window
)
// disable cross series reducer (MEAN reduction is default)
query.Set_REDUCE_NONE()
// set different alignment window. (Default is 1 minute)
query.SetAlignmentPeriod(time.Minute * 2)
tsi, err := mq.PerformWithClient(client) // client is provided by user
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error performing query: %v\n", err)
}
}
```

## Plotting
To plot the data, tsplot leverages the open source package [gonum/plot](github.com/gonum/plot) to create a graph and plot the data for a given time series.

The example below creates a new graph containing a singular time series, plots it, and saves the resulting plot to disk.
```
func main() {
... snip ...
ts := tsplot.TimeSeries{}
// optionally iterate over returned time series
timeSeries, _ := tsi.Next()
ts[metric] = ts.GetPoints()
// create the plot with some formatting options
p, err := ts.Plot([]tsplot.PlotOption{
tsplot.WithXAxisName("UTC"),
tsplot.WIthGrid(colornames.Darkgrey),
tsplot.WithTitle(metric)}...)
if err != nil {
return err
// create new request
request := monitoringpb.ListTimeSeriesRequest{
Name: fmt.Sprintf("projects/%s", project),
Filter: query,
Interval: &monitoringpb.TimeInterval{
EndTime: timestamppb.New(et),
StartTime: timestamppb.New(st),
},
Aggregation: nil,
SecondaryAggregation: nil,
View: monitoringpb.ListTimeSeriesRequest_FULL,
}
// optionally save the plot to disk
p.Save(8*vg.Inch, 4*vg.Inch, "./my-graph.png")
// execute the request and get the response from Google APIs
tsi := GoogleCloudMonitoringClient.ListTimeSeries(context.Background(), request)
// Create the plot from the GAPI TimeSeries
plot, _ := tsplot.NewPlotFromTimeSeriesIterator(tsi, "", nil)
// Save the new plot to disk.
plot.Save(8*vg.Inch, 4*vg.Inch, "my_plot.png")
}
```

### Example generated graphs:
Query across multiple time series with mean reducer:
![graph1](sample/1.png)

### Graph Color Scheme
I'm not a UX designer, but I have selected colors that I find higher contrast
and easier to see. I am basing this completely off my colorblindness which is
unique to me. Improvements to the color palette used are welcome.
