Description : Prometheus exporter for ephemereal jobs
The Prometheus Pushgateway exists to allow ephemeral and batch jobs to
expose their metrics to Prometheus. Since these kinds of jobs may not
exist long enough to be scraped, they can instead push their metrics
to a Pushgateway. The Pushgateway then exposes these metrics to
Prometheus.
.
The Pushgateway is explicitly not an aggregator, but rather a metrics
cache. It does not have a statsd-like semantics. The metrics pushed
are exactly the same as you would present for scraping in a
permanently running program.
.
For machine-level metrics, the textfile collector of
prometheus-node-exporter is usually more appropriate. The Pushgateway
is best used for service-level metrics.
