  • Monitoring with Custom Metrics

    In case the Custom Metric is related to a job or a short-living script, consider using Pushgateway.
  • The right tool for pulling data from random via REST API.

    Is the cron job with a script for getting metric and pushing via https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway the right way for this task?

    We are currently evaluating timeseries databases to build an internal tool for DORA metrics and just looking at prometheus. As tracking releases is more of a push based use case, I looked at pushgateway and the docs stated the following "The Pushgateway is not an event store. [...] tracking something like release events has to happen with some event-logging framework." here
  • Ask HN: Prometheus vs. StatsD / Telegraf
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Apr 2021
    While I somehow understand Prometheus idea that pull is easier to scale than push I've had a bad luck with it.

    First of all Prometheus doesn't even consider monitoring of long-running jobs other than pull way (which didn't make sense for me). There is push gateway [0] but clients libraries seem to consider it only for short-lived jobs where you can send the metrics at the end [1]. It seems I couldn't "push" from long living jobs trivially

    Second when using it for example with django you have to be careful with how you handle multiprocessing that UWSGI/gunicorn does, see [2] - it has bitten me at leas once.

    Comparing to push model where I can just push metrics to [3] statsd_exporter directly and be done with it, but support for statsd is lacking both in terms of frameworks (everyone seems to be migrating to native clients...) and functionality (you've to do labeling basically manually [4])

    To sum up: Prometheus is really great when it works, until you try to go off-track (intentionally or not, see django [2]) then you see its all undiscovered and immature landscape
