I have a system where instances can be added at any time. Metric collection becomes difficult since its hard to gather updated information on all the scrape targets. I wanted to use a pushgateway at a static IP to ingest the metrics from all instances.

Unfortunatey the service running on these instances only offers a prometheus scrape endpoint (pull). Is it possible for me to add a second service that can scrape the first one (locally) and push the metrics to the pushgateway at the static IP? This second service would act purely as a forwarder.

  • I'm not sure to understand the question, but maybe the pushgateway option can be a solution ? Have a look at https://prometheus.io/docs/practices/pushing/ – Alexandre Cartapanis Dec 23 '20 at 20:20
  • Thank you for your answer. But I do have a pushgateway running at a static IP. The service which I want to get metrics from only has a scrape endpoint though, I wanted to see if there was something I can run that scrapes the endpoint(locally) and pushes the metrics to a pushgateway. The main reason for this is that my services change IPs often and I want to avoid manually updating the scrape config on the metric server. – thatrandomdude Dec 28 '20 at 10:32
