Prometheus metrics

Hi, sure!

Do you have an example of what Prometheus metrics data would look like, as generated by Vigil? I assume it's some kind of JSON or XML returned by an HTTP route by Vigil, is that right?

Prometheus metrics are just plaintext exposed on some port. You can read more here.

I wrote a super simple prometheus exporter in that checks if port is open or not(first time using rust so code quality is low) but you can see how it is made with help of rust-prometheus.

For now my projects exposes metrics in Prometheus format and it looks like this:

port_up{name="service1",port="8123"} 1
port_up{name="service2",port="9060"} 1
port_up{name="service3",port="8080"} 1
port_up{name="service4",port="9050"} 1

1 means port is open, 0 means something is wrong.

I need to play a little bit more with Vigil and I can write down my notes and ideas if you would be interested in them.

For know I just wanted to know if you are interested in exposing such metrics.

Sure! I'm interested. Come back w/ full notes and I can work out on an impl.

Dropping this feature, as Vigil aims at being a simple main monitoring solution; not designed for being a secondary solution.
