Dear Prometheans,
I have published a new minor release for the Pushgateway: v1.5.0
Thanks to @fatelei for contributing the new feature of gzip’ing the body of a POST or PUT sent to the Pushgateway. To use it, you have to add a header Content-Encoding: gzip, like in this example:
echo "some_metric 3.14" | gzip | curl -H 'Content-Encoding: gzip' --data-binary @- http://pushgateway.example.org:9091
/metrics/job/some_job
By updating to v0.8.1 of the prometheus/exporter_toolkit, the Pushgateway now supports multiple listeners and systemd sockets.
The routine update of all dependencies should also silence a lot of (presumably false) alerts issued by naive security scanners when spotting a dependency with a vulnerability even though the vulnerable code isn’t used by the Pushgateway.
Enjoy!
