How to scrape metrics from not /metrics endpoint? about pushprox HOT 2 OPEN

Hey,

I had the same issue, I wanted to scrape gotenberg metrics which default endpoint is /prometheus/metrics. I managed to add a new flag in the pushprox client entrypoint by adding the following code in cmd/client/main.go:

In the variables declaration part:
endpoint = kingpin.Flag("endpoint", "Override metrics endpoint (default is /metrics)").String()

In the doScrape function:

if *endpoint != "" {
        request.URL.Path = *endpoint
    }

Then you just have to add the following flag to your client entrypoint: --endpoint=/another/metrics/path

Hope it can help you

Hi,
Sorry, but like it was mentionned in #58, the path is not hardcoded: pushproxy is a proxy so it sends the exact query that is set by the client to the final target.

You can test it manually with curl shell cmd:

to reach node_exporter landing page on "client" host

curl -v --proxy http://pushproxy:8080 \
    -H "X-Prometheus-Scrape-Timeout-Seconds: 5" \
    http://client:9100/

to reach node_exporter status page

curl -v --proxy http://pushproxy:8080 \
    -H "X-Prometheus-Scrape-Timeout-Seconds: 5" \
    http://client:9100/status

to reach node_exporter metrics page

curl -v --proxy http://pushproxy:8080 \
    -H "X-Prometheus-Scrape-Timeout-Seconds: 5" \
    http://client:9100/metrics

So if you have trouble to reach the target, it is not the proxy but the config in prometheus !
