The Stackdriver Pushgateway exists to allow jobs to expose their metrics to Stackdriver. It is compatible with the prometheus gateway:
echo "some_metric 3.14" | curl --data-binary @- http://stackgateway.domain.com/metrics/label1/value1/label2/value2
only pushing metrics is really compatible to prometheus (not deleting etc)
We provide a bare Dockerfile to run the pushgateway, but it essentially simply does
and npm install
and run the index.js
, so feel free to run this however you prefer :)
The environment variables needed by the pushgateway are:
PROJECT_ID
: name of the GCP project you want to send metrics toHTTP_PORT
: port the server is going to listen on (default is8080
)GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
: path to your Google application credentials (default/credentials/credentials.json
)
...start the app and have fun monitoring on StackDriver!
