Consul Telemetry in Prometheus

[Cameron Davison]

Is anyone running prometheus (https://prometheus.io/) and aggregating statistics about Consul, and know a recommended way to get that up and running? I know that prometheus has https://github.com/prometheus/consul_exporter (which I have been using) but I think that I want all of the http://www.consul.io/docs/agent/telemetry.html that consul gives such as elections and dns query times and memory block objects.

Hi!

We have a similar setup with the consul-exporter and are also interested in the extended information available by using telemetry from Consul. Our approach has been to use the statsd-exporter (https://github.com/prometheus/statsd_exporter) and using it without a statsd server using Docker.

We then configure Consul to use telemetry by adding this to the server configuration file:

"telemetry": {

"statsd_address": "172.17.0.1:9125"

}

Any thoughts on this?

Cheers,

Tim

Seems like that is a good option.
