This is the bosh release for deploying promfetcher alongside cloud foundry.

promfetcher was made for cloud foundry and the idea behind is to give ability to fetch metrics from all app instances in a cloud foundry environment.

User can retrieve is metrics by simply call /v1/apps/[org_name]/[space_name]/[app_name]/metrics which will merge all metrics from instances and add labels:

• organization_id
• space_id
• app_id
• organization_name
• space_name
• app_name
• index - app instance index
• instance_id - the same as index
• instance - real container address

It also a service broker for cloud foundry to be able to set metrics endpoint for a particular which not use /metrics by default.

Metrics from app instance 0:

go_memstats_mspan_sys_bytes{} 65536

Metrics from app instance 1:

go_memstats_mspan_sys_bytes{} 5600

become:

go_memstats_mspan_sys_bytes{organization_id="7d66c7e7-196a-40e5-a259-f5afaf6a56f4",space_id="2ac205af-e18f-49a9-9a8b-48ef2bab2292",app_id="621617db-9dd9-4211-8848-b245f3ea16b2",organization_name="system",space_name="tools",app_name="app",index="0",instance_id="0",instance="172.76.112.90:61038"} 65536
go_memstats_mspan_sys_bytes{organization_id="7d66c7e7-196a-40e5-a259-f5afaf6a56f4",space_id="2ac205af-e18f-49a9-9a8b-48ef2bab2292",app_id="621617db-9dd9-4211-8848-b245f3ea16b2",organization_name="system",space_name="tools",app_name="app",index="1",instance_id="1",instance="172.76.112.91:61010"} 65536

Manifest has been created to be set as an ops file for cloud foundry deployment.

Simply add ops file to your cf-deployment:

• /manifests/operations/cf/cf.yml
• (Optional) /manifests/operations/cf/enable-router-routing.yml: for using a route registrar to be able to resolve https://promfetcher.system.domain . But using it will make gorouter a bottleneck to get metrics, prefer using a proper dns entry for resolving https://promfetcher.system.domain and set entries to your load balancer to point directly to vm instead of using gorouter
• (Optional) /manifests/operations/cf/enable-backup.yml: Enable bbr backup/restore.
• (Optional) /manifests/operations/cf/disable-broker.yml: Disable broker functionality and remove database link because it becomes unnecessary.

Run: bosh -d cf run-errand --instance=promfetch/0 promfetch-broker-registrar
