Prometheus Monitoring

Prometheus Monitoring#

Warning

This feature is experimental and as such is unstable. Using it in production is discouraged. Expect errors and API/functionality changes in future releases.

Lithops can send execution metrics to Prometheus for real-time monitoring purposes. Currently, this feature works by using a Prometheus push gateway.

Installation#

For testing purposes, the easiest way to get everything up is to use an Ubuntu VM and install the pre-compiled packages from the apt repository.

  1. Install the Prometheus server:

apt-get update
apt-get install prometheus -y

  1. Install Prometheus Pushgateway module:

apt-get install prometheus-pushgateway -y

Configuration#
