How can I see stats of my GRPC server using statsviz?

[arl]

Question initially asked by asked by @saltperfect in issue #69 (which i moved to the discussions tab):

If statsviz cannot help is there a alternative?

@saltperfect

statsviz serves a web gui via http that shows real time statistics of the Go runtime (garbage collector, etc.) of your application. It's made to monitor in real time the allocations pattern and memory usage of your app. As such, it can do so with any kind of Go application.

However if you're looking at exposing application-specific statistics such as the number of GRPC calls per second for example, statsviz has no clue about that and has currently no way to add custom metrics. It's planned but there's no ETA yet (see #62 )

@arl
When I used mux := http.NewServeMux() statsviz.Register(mux) I was getting 404 but when I used statsviz.RegisterDefault()
I was able to see stats on my browser. Can you guess what could be the reason?

[arl]

Hard to say without seeing the code. It all depends on what the rest of the code does with mux.
Did you have a look at _example/mux?

[saltperfect]

Rest of the mux doesn't do anything. I have a grpc server. I think that might be the reason.

Did you manage to solve your issue?
