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 allows to send executions metrics to Prometheus for real-time monitoring purposes. Currently this feature works by using a Prometheus apigateway.

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 severer:

apt-get update
apt-get install prometheus -y

  1. Install Prometheus Pushgateway module:

apt-get install prometheus-pushgateway -y
