monitoring-go-service-with-prometheus

This repository spins up Prometheus to monitor a golang web-service that has prometheus client instrumentation.

• Prometheus is running on port 9090.
  • Scrapes the go web service on the interval of every 5 seconds
• Golang web service is running on port 8090.
  • Exports custom metric called incoming_requests_metric other than default metrics
• Both Prometheus and go web service are containerized

Steps to run

1. cd to monitoring-go-service-with-prometheus directory
2. run docker-compose up
3. hit localhost:9090 in browser to see prometheus dashboard and monitor metrics of go service
