prometheus-prebuilt

Install prometheus prebuilt binaries for command-line use using npm. This module helps you easily install the prometheus command for use on the command line without having to compile anything.

Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud. Since its inception in 2012, many companies and organizations have adopted Prometheus, and the project has a very active developer and user community. It is now a standalone open source project and maintained independently of any company. ~ https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/#what-is-prometheus

Installation

Download and install the latest build of prometheus for your OS and add it to your projects package.json:

npm install prometheus-prebuilt --save-dev

This is the preferred way to use prometheus, as it doesn't require users to install prometheus globally.

You can also use the -g flag (global) to symlink it into your PATH:

npm install -g prometheus-prebuilt

Now you can just run prometheus to run prometheus:

$ prometheus --help
usage: prometheus [<args>]


   -version false
      Print version information.

   -config.file "prometheus.yml"
      Prometheus configuration file name.

   ...

Options

os

If you want to change the OS version that is downloaded (e.g., windows on a linux machine), you can use the --os flag with npm install or set the npm_config_os environment variable:

npm install --os=windows prometheus-prebuilt

version

Binaries are downloaded from github repo releases.

Default version is always the latest one, unless you use --version flag with npm install or set the npm_config_version environment variable:

npm install --version="0.18.0" prometheus-prebuilt
