Prometheus Engine

This repository contains various binaries and packages for client-side usage of Google Cloud Prometheus Engine (GPE), a managed Prometheus offering on top of Google Cloud Monitoring (GCM).

Binaries

• config-reloader: An auxiliary binary to initiate reload on configuration file changes.
• example-app: An application exposing synthetic metrics.
• frontend: An authorizing proxy for the Prometheus-compatible query API of GPE. It additionally hosts a query UI.
• operator: A Kubernetes operator for managed metric collection for GPE.
• rule-evaluator: A Prometheus rule evaluation engine that evaluates against GPE.

For the fully Prometheus-compatible binary that writes ingested data into GPE/GCM, see GoogleCloudPlatform/prometheus.

Build

Any go application in ./cmd/ with an associated main.go, e.g. ./cmd/operator/main.go is a candidate for build by running:

make operator

This generates in a binary in ./build/bin/.

The make target can be configured to build a Docker image for any application in ./cmd/ with an associated Dockerfile, e.g. ./cmd/operator/Dockerfile by setting the environment variable DOCKER_BUILD=1. This results in a minimal docker image containing just that application's binary. The binary is subsequently copied to the local directory ./build/bin/.

Running make all will generate all the go binaries.

Running make docker will generate all the go binary Docker images.
