Getting started

Installation

The recommended installation for macOS is via Homebrew:

brew install autometrics-dev/tap/am

Alternatively, you can download the latest version from the releases page

Quickstart

The following will download, configure and start Prometheus. Assuming you've created an application that is running locally on port 3000 it will start scraping the metrics for that service on that port:

am start :3000

You can also specify a host, scheme or a path:

am start https://example.com:3000/api/metrics

It is also possible to specify multiple endpoints:

am start :3000 :3030

Now you can visualize and inspect your metrics using the explorer by visiting http://localhost:6789/.
