Prometheus config example about ping_exporter HOT 1 CLOSED

Assuming both Prometheus and the ping_exporter run on the same host:

1. Create a config file for ping_exporter, as described in the README. Save it as /etc/ping_exporter/config.yml.

2. Start ping_exporter --config /etc/ping_exporter/config.yml.

3. Add the following snippet to your Prometheus scrape config:

   scrape_configs:
     # ... other jobs ...
     - job_name: ping
       static_configs:
         - targets:
           - 127.0.0.1:9427

4. Restart Prometheus.

If the ping_exporter runs on a different host (say ping.example.com), you need:

1. Ensure http://ping.example.com:9427/metrics is reachable from the host running Prometheus.
2. Substitute 127.0.0.1:9427 for ping.example.com:9427 in the Prometheus config.
