Please add docs for how to collect/view the data and something that lists all the metrics that buildx will export.
If this docker.cli.count is something that currently serves more like a test value and may change in the future where more collection points are added then it should be behind BUILDX_ opt-in env var until it is considered stable.

This new block in here probably isn't necessary.

Let me fix this.

@tonistiigi at the current moment, the metrics can't be exported or seen through a user-defined means. I'll add some docs for the metrics to get that started as I think we should allow a way to expose the metrics to end-users, but CLI metrics are a bit different from service metrics that they're generally more ephemeral. I can add it behind an environment variable, but in its current iteration, these metrics can only be consumed by our backend without recompiling the source. I don't know if that changes the requirement to add an experimental flag for this. My fear here is that this data is already going to a backend that also has an experimental flag and we'll be adding too many experimental flags and won't get any data. But yes. This metric is primarily meant to be a test one so I can see the metrics are working and to avoid Go telling me that the value isn't used. |

nit: add extra comment in here saying that we are still in the process of testing/stabilizing these counters.

End to end tests are functional now. I've split the vendor update into the PR here so that will have to merge first. The issue seemed to stem from how unix sockets are handled in the OTEL library. The I was also accidentally passing an empty endpoint entirely because the |
Introduce a meter provider to the buildx cli that will send metrics to the otel-collector included in docker desktop if enabled. This will send usage metrics to the desktop application but also send metrics to a user-provided otlp receiver endpoint through the standard environment variables. This introduces a single metric which is the cli count for build and bake along with the command name and a few additional attributes. Signed-off-by: Jonathan A. Sternberg <[email protected]>
