 # asyncapi-adoption-metrics
-Metrics for measuring AsyncAPI adoption
+Metrics library for measuring AsyncAPI tooling adoption.
+
+It aids in comprehending how AsyncAPI tools are used and adopted, facilitating ongoing improvements to our specifications and tools. Currently is being used by @asyncapi/cli as a POC and next step will be making use of it on @asyncapi/studio as well.
+
+## Installation
 Requires NodeJS v18 or greater.
+```bash
+npm install @smoya/asyncapi-adoption-metrics
+yarn add @smoya/asyncapi-adoption-metrics
+```
+
+## Usage
+The package exposes several classes, from which we can remark:
+- class `Metric`:
+Used to create an object containing all the properties needed to identify the metrics collected. These properties are:
+  ```ts
+  name: string;
+  type: MetricType;
+  value: any;
+  metadata: { [key: string]: any };
+  ```
+
+- class `Recorder`:
+Contains all the functions needed to record the different metrics we collect, like:
+  - `asyncapi_adoption.action.invoked`:
+  With this metric we are tracking any action started (but not finished) in a tool. For example, a command that got executed on the [CLI](https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/) but didn't finish yet. We just want to know which commands are used, regardless they have failed or succeeded.
+    ```ts
+    async recordActionInvoked(actionName: string, metadata: MetricMetadata = {}) {
+    metadata['action'] = actionName;
+    this.record(new Metric('action.invoked', MetricType.Counter, 1, metadata));
+  }
+    ```
+Example where this function is used:
+  ```ts
+    async init(): Promise<void> {
+    await super.init();
+    const commandName : string = this.id || '';
+    await this.recordActionInvoked(commandName, this.metricsMetadata);
+  }
+  ```
+
+  - `asyncapi_adoption.action.finished`:
+  With this metric we are tracking the action executed once it has already finished, carrying the result of the execution and some metadata.
+    ```ts
+    async recordActionFinished(actionName: string, metadata: MetricMetadata = {}) {
+    metadata['action'] = actionName;
+    this.record(new Metric('action.finished', MetricType.Counter, 1, metadata));
+  }
+    ```
+Example where this function is used:
+  ```ts
+    async finally(error: Error | undefined): Promise<any> {
+    await super.finally(error);
+    this.metricsMetadata['success'] = error === undefined;
+    await this.recordActionFinished(this.id as string, this.metricsMetadata, this.specFile?.text());
+  }
+  ```
+
+Utils exposed by the library to operate mainly with the `Sink` interface and the metadata retrieved from the asyncapi files:
+```ts
+import { MetadataFromDocument, MetricMetadata, Recorder, Sink, StdOutSink } from '@smoya/asyncapi-adoption-metrics';
+```
+
+## Examples
+Example for [CLI](https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/) `validate` command after being invoked:
+```
+asyncapi_adoption.action.invoked        COUNTER { action: 'validate' }  1
+```
+
+Example of the data collected when the `validate` command has been executed and finished:
+```
+asyncapi_adoption.action.finished       COUNTER {
+  validation_result: 'valid',
+  success: true,
+  asyncapi_version: '2.6.0',
+  asyncapi_servers: 2,
+  asyncapi_channels: 4,
+  asyncapi_messages: 3,
+  asyncapi_operations_send: 3,
+  asyncapi_operations_receive: 1,
+  asyncapi_schemas: 52,
+  action: 'validate'
+  }       1
+```
+
+## Data storage
+We are making use of [New Relic API](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apis/intro-apis/introduction-new-relic-apis/#rest-api) to send the metrics collected to the _New Relic_ servers, where they are stored, and finally visualized on our own dashboards at the AsyncAPI website (WIP).
+
+## Data privacy
+All the data is anonymized, ensuring no sensitive data reaches our servers.
+
+Every tool making use of this library should provide a mechanism to disable metrics, as you can see [here](https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/blob/master/docs/metrics_collection.md#how-to-disable-tracking).
