Documentation on usage with prometheus #140

Closed Z3hka closed 1 year ago

Z3hka commented 1 year ago

I was looking for a way to have prometheus do blackbox-monitoring on my matrix homeserver and came across this project that seems to do some things with prometheus but i can't find any instructions about if prometheus is only used in the inner workings of this tool if it is possible to get replies in prometheus format. I saw some lines about a /metrics endpoint in the sourcecode, but both https://federationtester.matrix.org/metrics and https://federationtester.matrix.org/api/metrics return 404 (but deliver different 404 Error pages)

I would be grateful if you could clarify that and possibly if there is a way to do this add this to the README.

Thanks in advance

the metrics endpoint is for monitoring the health of the federation tester itself, so is only appropriate if you host your own instance.

Please don't use the hosted https://federationtester.matrix.org for any automated testing.
