To foster re-use and make the code easier to approach for the Prometheus community, we should switch to the official Prometheus client (https://github.com/prometheus/client_python)
Example how the integration could look like:
from prometheus_client.core import CounterMetricFamily, REGISTRY
class AzureCollector(object):
def collect(self):
c = CounterMetricFamily('my_counter_total', 'Help text', labels=['foo'])
c.add_metric(['bar'], 1.7)
c.add_metric(['baz'], 3.8)
yield c
REGISTRY.register(AzureCollector())
We could either use the built-in HTTP server (via start_http_server
), built-in WSGI app (via make_wsgi_app
) or continue to use Flask by returning output of generate_latest()
with content type CONTENT_TYPE_LATEST
from a custom /metrics
function.
