LIBUCL VS prometheus-operator

Have you seen ucl? https://github.com/vstakhov/libucl

It seems very similar.

Structured configuration is the type of configuration language I wanted for Djinn, whereby parameters could be grouped together into blocks, and nested within each other. Hence, the structure. The language I came up with was heavily influenced by HCL, and libucl and has support for duration and size literal values. Below is what the language looks like,

The project repository for Prometheus-operator can be found here, The repo defines the CRDs and the controller. You can follow this documentation for the installation. which will require the creation of metrics exporters, node exporters, scrape configurations, etc.

Personally I use kubernetes, k3s is kind of lightweight, with the Prometheus operator.

Kubernetes is not for everyone and is far from perfect but you already use Docker and you seem to seek many features offered by Kubernetes.

I see that the operator is a community-run project. Does anybody have any experience (positive or negative) on running the operator itself? I wonder if it is more for multi-tenant Prometheus. For single tenant Prometheus collection, I guess the big gain is abstracting scrape config into ServiceMonitor and PodMonitor resources? Is there anything else that this makes much better?

But in all honesty if you’re on k8s you’re probably best served by the Prometheus operator. It’ll give you all that and more, easily.

Try some monitoring.

It’s a common pattern [1] how else can users override the child objects you’re controller creates?

At a minimum, you want to look at your metrics using the Prometheus Operator. You can write alerts for resource requests.

Prometheus Operator is an independent project from the Prometheus project. I know, it can lead to confusion. In the official README you can find short comparison. Basically, Prometheus Operator does what an operator should do - provides Kubernetes native deployment and management of Prometheus and related monitoring components like Grafana or Alert Manager.
