Parseable Metrics

Export Parseable to Prometheus

Prometheus offers a multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by metric name and key/value pairs. The data collection happens via a pull model over HTTP/HTTPS.

Parseable server exposes Prometheus metrics at the /api/v1/metrics endpoint in Prometheus exposition format. If authentication is enabled for your Parseable instance, scrape the endpoint with valid Parseable credentials.

Prerequisites

Parseable server installed and running. See installation guide for more details.

Prometheus installed and running. See installation guide for more details.

Configuration

Prometheus configuration is done via a YAML file. Locate your Prometheus configuration file prometheus.yml and add the following section to scrape Parseable server metrics.

scrape_configs:
- job_name: parseable-job
  metrics_path: /api/v1/metrics
  scheme: http
  static_configs:
  - targets: ['localhost:8000']
  basic_auth:
    username: "admin"
    password: "admin"

Make sure to replace localhost:8000 with the actual host and port where Parseable server is running.
