PromeTurbo

Overview

Prometurbo is a framework to get metrics from Prometheus for Turbonomic. It is implemented as a SDK probe that aims to discover applications and nodes from Prometheus for the Turbonomic Operations Manager.

Two components

It has two components: appMetric and Probe.

Main functions of appMetric :

• Get entity metrics from Prometheus, or other sources;
• Expose the entity metrics via REST API;

Main functions of Probe :

• Fetch entity metrics from appMetric, convert them into EntityDTO;
• Probe regristration with TurboServer;
• Execute the validation/discovery command from TurboServer;

Since these two components interact with each other via REST API, so they can be deployed in the same pod, or separately as different services.

Metric sources and entities

Currently, Prometurbo can get metrics from Istio and redis exporters. It will generate ResponseTime and Transaction commodities for Application Entity.

More exporters will be supported, and more entity types/commodities will be gradually added in the future.

Prerequisites

• Turbonomic 6.2+
