Support for pushgateway about prometheus

[vegasbrianc]

Hi @roshu10 This will support a Pushgateway. You will only need to setup each Pushgateway as a new target in the prometheus/prometheus.yml file

Here's the documentation on setting up a PushGateway with Prometheus. Hope this helps - https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway#configure-the-pushgateway-as-a-target-to-scrape

Hi @vegasbrianc i have tried this.
I set honor_labels: true as mentioned in the guide.

scrape_configs:

• job_name: 'node'
  honor_labels: true
  ec2_sd_configs:

But still when i pushed data using pushgateway (It will show success when i run).

Data data is not being shown either in Prometheus/Grafana

[vegasbrianc]

Can you curl the pushgateway from the Prometheus server?

[roshan8]

I executed this command on my local machine:

echo "some_metric 3.14" | curl --data-binary @- http://x.x.x.x:9091/metrics/job/some_job

x.x.x.x was my Prometheus server.

It executed successfully without errors

[vegasbrianc]

Is your local machine the same as where Prometheus runs? If not try it again on the Prometheus server. If this works that means Prometheus should also be able to retrieve these metrics.

[roshan8]

Yea tried.

Its executing without any error, but no output also

[vegasbrianc]

What metrics is your application pushing to the gateway?

[roshan8]

I'm trying to push node exporter metrics

[vegasbrianc]

My understanding is the Pushgateway is used to integrate directly into your application and gather application metrics. This is not intended to interface with Node Exporter - https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway#non-goals

[roshan8]

ok,

my case is node_exporter is running on all the nodes,

But prometheus can't reach these hosts.

So i want to push all these data that i received from node_exporter to Prometheus server

[vegasbrianc]

Hmm, that's difficult. Prometheus needs some way to connect to the node exporters to get the metrics. An alternative is to create a separate management network just for monitoring.

[vegasbrianc]

or change the port of the node_exporter so it is allowed

@roshu10 closing this issue as it is related to your firewall and not Prometheus or the stack.
