All,

I have exporter that generates the following data:

gerson@mypi4:~ $ curl http://192.168.1.148:9393/metrics
<html>

<head></head>
<body data-gr-c-s-loaded="true">
<pre style="word-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">
# HELP bmp180_temperature_celsius Temperature read from ESP8266 BMP180 sensor
# TYPE bmp180_temperature_celsius gauge
bmp180_temperature_celsius 25.50
# HELP bmp180_pressure_pascal Pressure read from ESP8266 BMP180 sensor
# TYPE bmp180_pressure_pascal gauge
bmp180_pressure_pascal 98704
# HELP bmp180_altitude_meters Altitude read from ESP8266 BMP180 sensor
# TYPE bmp180_altitude_meters gauge
bmp180_altitude_meters 357.87
</pre>
</body>
</html>

And I have the following prometheus scrape configuration:

  - job_name: 'esp8266'
    scrape_interval: 30s
    static_configs:
    - targets: ['192.168.1.148:9393']

But for some reason the job is never up:

My Prometheus instance is running on a docker container, but it can see other nodes.

Am I doing something wrong with the format of exporter?

Thank you,

Gerson

What made you think that the scrape data format was HTML? It's not, it's a
straightforward plain-text format.

Matt,

I removed the html tags and it is working now. Thank you very much,
