go-synthetic

go-synthetic is a toy application that emits example Prometheus metrics and exemplars.

Metrics and behaviour are synthetic. go-synthetic program allocates some memory, burns some CPU and optionally (see --*-count flags) provide all possible metric types (including exotic OpenMetrics types and Native Histograms).

It's used for testing and validation purposes, but also can be used to demo and debug Prometheus monitoring infrastructure.

Running on Kubernetes

If running managed-collection on a Kubernetes cluster, the go-synthetic can be deployed and monitored by:

kubectl apply -f ./go-synthetic.yaml
