heapPlugin.init().start();
 
// log metrics to console
console.log(client.register.metrics());
 
// stop metrics collection

// stop and clear metrics register
heapPlugin.reset();

Override metric defaults

const client = require('prom-client');
const heapPlugin = require('prometheus-plugin-heap-stats');
const override = {
  'metric_name': { // provide default metric name to override it's params

      customLabel: 'hello', // custom labels could be added
      customFnLabel: () => { return new Date() } // if it's a function, it will be called to get label value in runtime
    }
  }
};
// start metrics collection
heapPlugin.init(override).start(); // pass override object to init function
 
// log metrics to console
console.log(client.register.metrics());
 
// stop metrics collection
heapPlugin.stop();
