Prometheus operator

omerbeni opened this issue · 3 comments

Hi, I'm trying to install this on an openshift cluster. I face some issues with the fact that It’s an operator. Can someone please help me?

This project is for a Splunk add-on that interacts with Prometheus, not Prometheus or Splunk itself. You'll have to get help from that project with installing and running Prometheus.

Yes this I understand. I have issues with the remote write configuration on a prometheus operator.. anyway, is there a way to test the splunk add on? To send fake metrics without prometheus just to check if it’s configured right?

Not easily.

The remote write protocol from Prometheus is "just HTTP", but in the content body it uses protocol buffers and snappy compression: not something that you can do with a script that would be any easier than just getting Prometheus up and running.
