Integrating Ulfius with Prometheus for metrics #140

Closed bouharb closed 2 years ago

bouharb commented 5 years ago

Hello,

Is it possible to integrate a metrics tool like prometheus ?

Thanks in advance

babelouest commented 5 years ago

Hello @bouharb ,

That's a very good question. Unfortunately I don't know the tool so I would make a definitive assumption but I don't see why not.

I don't know exactly how this tool works but I see a C++ library. You can start with this one.

If you can integrate an Ulfius project with metrics, I'd be interested to get to know the result though.

Of course. Prometheus just needs an HTTP endpoint. So, define one and collect your metrics ;) Prometheus describes this also in the documentation: https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/getting_started/ As I remember the structure is just key=value But a plugin would be amazing. :) You should write one :D

Thanks @Citrullin , but the problem remains that I don't have the time these days to make a project like that... Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

I'm digging out this issue from the past because I've recently used ulfius to create metrics endpoints for Prometheus in glewlwyd. The issue is available here

Basically a new ulfius instance is created to host the metrics endpoint, and an asynchronous system with detached threads is used to increment the metrics.

I don't think I was refering to you back then, but to the issue creator :) Afterall it's all open source :D

My bad @Citrullin , sorry for the confusion :/

Glewlwyd 2.6 has been released with the prometheus endpoint, the source for the metrics endpoint is available here.
