// This example shows how to use gauge metrics. The program records two gauges, one to demonstrate
// a gauge with int64 value and the other to demonstrate a gauge with float64 value.
//
// Metrics
//
// 1. process_heap_alloc (int64): Total bytes used by objects allocated in the heap.
// It includes objects currently used and objects that are freed but not garbage collected.
//
// 2. process_heap_idle_to_alloc_ratio (float64): It is the ratio of Idle bytes to allocated
// bytes in the heap.
//
// It periodically runs a function that retrieves the memory stats and updates the above two
// metrics. These metrics are then exported using prometheus exporter.
// The program lets you choose the amount of memory (in MB) to consume. Choose different values
// and query the metrics to see the change in metrics.
