Lord1Egypt Prometheus Metrics
Overview
Prometheus is a free software ecosystem for monitoring and alerting, relying on pull-based timeseries ingestion.
When to Use This Skill
Use to track system loads, latency distributions, and error rates of running web applications.
Quick Start (with runnable code examples)
from prometheus_client import start_http_server, Counter
import time
# Create a metric to track requests
REQUESTS = Counter('http_requests_total', 'Total HTTP Requests')
def process_request():
REQUESTS.inc()
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Start exporter server on port 8000
start_http_server(8000)
while True:
process_request()
time.sleep(1)
Advanced Usage
Set up gauge metrics, summary latency buckets, custom registry setups, and alerting rules configuration.
