Prometheus API Ruby Client

Gem Version Build Status Coverage Status

A Ruby library for reading metrics stored on a Prometheus server.

Install

gem install prometheus-api-client

Usage

Overview

require 'prometheus/api_client'

# return a client for host http://localhost:9090/api/v1/
prometheus = Prometheus::ApiClient.client

Changing server hostname

# return a client for host http://example.com:9090/api/v1/
prometheus = Prometheus::ApiClient.client(url: 'http://example.com:9090')

Authentication proxy

If an authentication proxy ( e.g. oauth2 ) is used in a layer above the prometheus REST server, this client can use ssl and authentication headears.

# return a client for host https://example.com/api/v1/ using a Bearer token "TopSecret"
prometheus = Prometheus::ApiClient.client(url:         'https://example.com:443',
                                          credentials: { token: 'TopSecret' })

Low level calls

query
# send a low level get request to server
prometheus.get(
  'query_range',
  query: 'sum(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total' \
         '{container_name="prometheus-hgv4s",job="kubernetes-nodes"})',
  start: '2015-07-01T20:10:30.781Z',
  end:   '2015-07-02T20:10:30.781Z',
  step:  '120s',
)
# response from server is a low level response struct including
# fields like: method, body and request_headers
# usually users will not need to use this law level calls
   ...
   method=:get,
   body="{\"status\":\"success\",
   ...

High level calls

query
# send a query request to server
prometheus.query(
  query: 'sum(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total' \
         '{container_name="prometheus-hgv4s",job="kubernetes-nodes"})',
  time:  '2015-07-01T20:10:30.781Z',
)
# response from server:
{"resultType"=>"vector", "result"=>[{"metric"=>{}, "value"=>[1502350741.161, "6606.310387038"]}]}
query_range
# send a query_range request to server
prometheus.query_range(
  query: 'sum(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total' \
         '{container_name="prometheus-hgv4s",job="kubernetes-nodes"})',
  start: '2015-07-01T20:10:30.781Z',
