> **Warning**

>

> OpenCensus and OpenTracing have merged to form [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io), which serves as the next major version of OpenCensus and OpenTracing.

>

> OpenTelemetry has now reached feature parity with OpenCensus, with tracing and metrics SDKs available in .NET, Golang, Java, NodeJS, and Python. **All OpenCensus Github repositories, except [census-instrumentation/opencensus-python](https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-python), will be archived on July 31st, 2023**. We encourage users to migrate to OpenTelemetry by this date.

>

> To help you gradually migrate your instrumentation to OpenTelemetry, bridges are available in Java, Go, Python, and JS. [**Read the full blog post to learn more**](https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2023/sunsetting-opencensus/).

# OpenCensus SignalFx Stats Exporter for Go

[![Gitter chat][gitter-image]][gitter-url]

The _OpenCensus SignalFx Stats Exporter for Go_ is a stats exporter that

exports data to [SignalFx](https://signalfx.com), a real-time monitoring

solution for cloud and distributed applications. SignalFx ingests that

data and offers various visualizations on charts, dashboards and service

maps, as well as real-time anomaly detection.

## Quickstart

### Import

```

import "opencensus-go-signalfx/exporter/signalfx"

```

The API of this project is still evolving.

The use of vendoring or a dependency management tool is recommended.

### Prerequisites

To use this exporter, one must have a [SignalFx](https://signalfx.com)

account and corresponding [data ingest

token](https://docs.signalfx.com/en/latest/admin-guide/tokens.html).

OpenCensus Go libraries require Go 1.8 or later.

### Register the exporter

```go

func main() {

    // SignalFx token is part of the Options struct.

    // Stats will be reported every second by default.

    exporter, err := signalfx.NewExporter(signalfx.Options{Token: "token"})

    ...

}

```

It is possible to set a different endpoint for SignalFx, use:

```go

func main() {

    exporter, err := signalfx.NewExporter(signalfx.Options{Token: "token", DatapointEndpoint: "Endpoint"})

    ....

}

```

It is possible to set different reporting intervals by using `SetReportingPeriod()`, for example:

```go

func main() {

    exporter, err := signalfx.NewExporter(signalfx.Options{Token: "token"})

    view.RegisterExporter(exporter)

    ....

    view.SetReportingPeriod(5 * time.Second)

}

```
