juju and monitoring systems

[Charles Butler]

Vasilily,

I've been taking a deep look at prometheus lately - namely due to the claim
of their top end benchmark of 360 thousand metric ingests per second on a
beefy modern host. This intrigued me as to the use cases for prometheus.
And seeing it being baked into the k8s apiserver for metric exports gave it
additional credibility for being investigated.

Rick's answer pretty much falls in line with what my analysis would be,
that we dont have it on any road maps today, however an ingest for
prometheus should be possible with some effort on both sides - the
prometheus charm maintainer (tbd) and then the metric scrapers for juju
(tbd).

If this is something you are interested in, I think this conversation is a
good starting point to look at what really needs to be done, and can be
prototyped outside of juju core as a POC. If it gains traction, that would
be a good identifier for it to be prioritized in a future iteration.

As a bit of a curiosity, what metrics are you looking for?

All the best,

Charles
