Port Monitoring

[Anthony Billones]

Hi, 

Is it possible to monitor how many http requests there will be for an exposed container? 

The sample is I have a service running in a container with an exposed port 3100.
I want to know how many GET requests and POST requests it's handling.

Hope you understood my question.

Regards,
Anthony

Hi,

We have multiple containers in an instance. based on my understanding, we would need to add a clientlib to each of the container. Is there a way that we can add something to the instance, instead of per container, for prometheus to monitor the http requests for the ports?

Something needs to be able to count those connections to produce some
metrics.

If you aren't able to instrument the actual applications (which would be
the best option) you could also:

- Add in a proxy which has metrics
- Produce metrics from log files
