I am building lots of apps where the consumer/producer pattern plays a big role. Usually, I end up tracking metrics on individual Go channels (e.g. enqueue/dequeue rate, periodically calling len(channel)). This works well to confirm if channels have the right capacity, consumers are keeping up, etc.
That said, I would love to generalize this and *gather information about all Go channels* in my app. For Go Routines, the runtime <https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/> and pprof <https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/pprof/#Profiles> packages have some cool functionality like determining go routine count & listing each go routine's stacktrace. However, I can't find anything providing data about active channels. reflect <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/> provides some useful functionality, but until I can programmatically discover all active channels that functionality is not going to help me. Is there any way to list all active go channels similar to the go routine functionality provided by pprof/runtime? If not, I will likely just create all channels in a central location which can keep tabs on their state.
