# Net::Prometheus::ProcessCollector(3pm)

obtain a process collector for the OS

## NAME

"Net::Prometheus::ProcessCollector" - obtain a process collector for the OS

## SYNOPSIS

```
   use Net::Prometheus::ProcessCollector;
   my $collector = Net::Prometheus::ProcessCollector->new;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module-loading package provides a method that attempts to load a process collector appropriate for the host OS it is running on.

The following OS-specific modules are provided with this distribution:

- •

  Net::Prometheus::ProcessCollector::linux

Other OSes may be supported by 3rd-party CPAN modules by following this naming pattern based on the value of the `$^O` variable on the OS concerned.

## MAGIC CONSTRUCTORS

### new

```
   $collector = Net::Prometheus::ProcessCollector->new( %args );
```

Attempts to construct a new process collector for the OS named by `$^O`, passing in any extra arguments into the `"new"` constructor for the specific class.

If no perl module is found under the appropriate file name, `"undef"` is returned. If any other error occurs while loading or constructing the instance, the exception is thrown as normal.

Typically a process exporter should support the following named arguments:

- prefix =\> STR

  A prefix to prepend on all the exported variable names. If not provided, the default should be `"process"`.

- labels =\> ARRAY

  Additional labels to set on exported variables. If not provided, no extra labels will be set.

### for\_OS

```
   $collector = Net::Prometheus::ProcessCollector->for_OS( $os, @args );
```

Attempts to construct a new process collector for the named OS. Except under especially-exceptional circumstances, you don't want to call this method. Call "new" instead.
