安装Prometheus Server

Prometheus基于Golang编写，编译后的软件包，不依赖于任何的第三方依赖。用户只需要下载对应平台的二进制包，解压并且添加基本的配置即可正常启动Prometheus Server。

从二进制包安装

对于非Docker用户，可以从https://prometheus.io/download/找到最新版本的Prometheus Sevrer软件包：

  1. export VERSION=2.4.3
  2. curl -LO  https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v$VERSION/prometheus-$VERSION.darwin-amd64.tar.gz

解压，并将Prometheus相关的命令，添加到系统环境变量路径即可：

  1. tar -xzf prometheus-${VERSION}.darwin-amd64.tar.gz
  2. cd prometheus-${VERSION}.darwin-amd64

解压后当前目录会包含默认的Prometheus配置文件promethes.yml:

  1. # my global config
  2. global:
  3.   scrape_interval:     15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. Default is every 1 minute.
  4.   evaluation_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default is every 1 minute.
  5.   # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).
  7. # Alertmanager configuration
  8. alerting:
  9.   alertmanagers:
  10.   - static_configs:
  11.     - targets:
  12.       # - alertmanager:9093
  14. # Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'.
  15. rule_files:
  16.   # - "first_rules.yml"
  17.   # - "second_rules.yml"
  19. # A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
  20. # Here it's Prometheus itself.
  21. scrape_configs:
  22.   # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
  23.   - job_name: 'prometheus'
  25.     # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
  26.     # scheme defaults to 'http'.
  28.     static_configs:
  29.     - targets: ['localhost:9090']

Promtheus作为一个时间序列数据库，其采集的数据会以文件的形式存储在本地中，默认的存储路径为data/，因此我们需要先手动创建该目录：

  1. mkdir -p data

用户也可以通过参数--storage.tsdb.path="data/"修改本地数据存储的路径。

启动prometheus服务，其会默认加载当前路径下的prometheus.yaml文件：

  1. ./prometheus

正常的情况下，你可以看到以下输出内容：

  1. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.499484Z caller=main.go:554 msg="Starting TSDB ..."
  2. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.499531Z caller=web.go:397 component=web msg="Start listening for connections" address=0.0.0.0:9090
  3. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.507999Z caller=main.go:564 msg="TSDB started"
  4. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.508068Z caller=main.go:624 msg="Loading configuration file" filename=prometheus.yml
  5. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.509509Z caller=main.go:650 msg="Completed loading of configuration file" filename=prometheus.yml
  6. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.509537Z caller=main.go:523 msg="Server is ready to receive web requests."

使用容器安装

对于Docker用户，直接使用Prometheus的镜像即可启动Prometheus Server：

  1. docker run -p 9090:9090 -v /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml prom/prometheus

启动完成后，可以通过http://localhost:9090访问Prometheus的UI界面：
