16.133. cdist-type__prometheus_server(7)¶

16.133.1. NAME¶

cdist-type__prometheus_server - install Prometheus

16.133.2. DESCRIPTION¶

Install and configure Prometheus (https://prometheus.io/).

Note that due to significant differences between Prometheus 1.x and 2.x, only 2.x is supported. It is your responsibility to make sure that your package manager installs 2.x. (On Devuan Ascii, the parameter --install-from-backports helps.)

16.133.3. REQUIRED PARAMETERS¶

config: Prometheus configuration file. It will be saved as /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml on the target.

16.133.4. OPTIONAL PARAMETERS¶

retention-days: How long to keep data. Default: 30
rule-files: Path to rule files. They will be installed under /etc/prometheus/<filename>. You need to include rule_files: [/etc/prometheus/<your-pattern>] in the config file if you use this.
storage-path: Where to put data. Default: /data/prometheus. (Directory will be created if needed.)

16.133.5. BOOLEAN PARAMETERS¶

install-from-backports: Valid on Devuan only. Will enable the backports apt source and install the package from there. Useful for getting a newer version.

16.133.6. EXAMPLES¶

PROMPORT=9090
ALERTPORT=9093
