To send metrics to Prometheus Pushgateway using the Windows console, you can utilize cURL, a command-line tool for making HTTP requests. Here's an example of how you can send metrics using cURL:
Install cURL:
- Download cURL for Windows from the official website: https://curl.se/windows/
- Extract the downloaded package and place the
curl.exe
file in a directory accessible from the command prompt.
Prepare the Metrics:
- Define the metrics you want to send in Prometheus exposition format. For example:plaintext
# HELP my_metric My custom metric
# TYPE my_metric counter
my_metric{label="value"} 42
- Define the metrics you want to send in Prometheus exposition format. For example:
Send Metrics to Pushgateway:
- Open the Windows console (Command Prompt or PowerShell).
- Run the following command to send the metrics to the Pushgateway:
Replace:plaintextcurl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain" --data-binary "@metrics.txt" http://pushgateway-url:9091/metrics/job/my-job
metrics.txt
with the file path or name of the file containing your metrics in Prometheus exposition format.http://pushgateway-url:9091/metrics/job/my-job
with the URL of your Pushgateway instance and the job name.
This command sends an HTTP POST request to the Pushgateway endpoint, specifying the Content-Type as text/plain
. The --data-binary
flag is used to read the metrics from the specified file.
Ensure that the Pushgateway URL and port are correct, and adjust the file path or name as needed.
By running the cURL command with your metrics, you should be able to send them to the Prometheus Pushgateway from the Windows console.
