Prometheus collector metricset

edit

The Prometheus collector metricset scrapes data from prometheus exporters.

Scraping from a Prometheus exporter

edit

To scrape metrics from a Prometheus exporter, configure the hosts field to it. The path to retrieve the metrics from (/metrics by default) can be configured with metrics_path.

- module: prometheus
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["node:9100"]
  metrics_path: /metrics

  #username: "user"
  #password: "secret"

  # This can be used for service account based authorization:
  #bearer_token_file: /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token
  #ssl.certificate_authorities:
  #  - /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/service-ca.crt

Scraping all metrics from a Prometheus server

edit

This module can scrape all metrics stored in a Prometheus server, by using the federation API. By pointing this config to the Prometheus server:

metricbeat.modules:
- module: prometheus
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["localhost:9090"]
  metrics_path: '/federate'
  query:
    'match[]': '{__name__!=""}'
