Welcome to the Wavefront Go SDK
Wavefront by VMware Go SDK lets you send raw data from your Go application to Wavefront using a Sender interface.
The data is then stored as metrics, histograms, and trace data. This SDK is also called the Wavefront Sender SDK for Go.
Although this library is mostly used by the other Wavefront Go SDKs to send data to Wavefront, you can also use this SDK directly. For example, you can send data directly from a data store or CSV file to Wavefront.
To learn more about how to send data, the SDK types, and functions, see pkg.go.dev documentation
Internal SDK Metrics
The SDK optionally adds its own metrics. The internal metrics are prefixed with ~sdk.go.core.sender.direct or ~sdk.go.core.sender.proxy, depending on whether metrics are being sent directly or via a Wavefront Proxy.
