snap7-to-prometheus VS prometheus-net

If I were you, without knowing all the details, I'd buy the cheapest s7-1200, read the Profinet IO-Link master with that. You can then get the values out of the PLC with this program that reads your PLC. It uses Snap7 and then publishes the values as a webpage (syntax made for prometheus). You can then use prometheus and grafana to do the graphing.

You might want to look into prometheus https://github.com/prometheus-net/prometheus-net, https://prometheus.io/.

You would need to build a custom endpoint if it's a custom application that Prometheus can scrape but there are many libraries for that like prom-client for NodeJS or prometheus-net for C#. The list of client libraries can be found here.

You could probably combine a HangFire Job Filter with the Prometheus C# library and log the things you want. Looks pretty extensible.

prometheus-net

I have a websocket server that hoards memory during days, till the point that Kubernetes eventually kills it. We monitor it using prometheous-net.

A library that makes this really easy for us is prometheus-net - we can create a minimal API that exposes metrics quickly and demonstrate a few different ways of creating metric data

// example taken from https://github.com/prometheus-net/prometheus-net#quick-start private static readonly Counter ProcessedJobCount = Metrics .CreateCounter("myapp_jobs_processed_total", "Number of processed jobs."); ... ProcessJob(); ProcessedJobCount.Inc();
