Hi,
There has been, for several releases, a connector that ships with Presto that allows for direct import of Prometheus data. https://github.com/prestosql/presto/tree/master/presto-prometheus .

I'd like to see if there is some feedback on adding a "Presto Importer" line under the list of Databases, here: https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/#databases

Since that is explicitly a list of exporters though, perhaps the reference belongs in a different list?

Thanks,
Brett Tofel

That looks to be using the HTTP query API, and we don't maintain a list of things that are users of that. This probably best belongs within the Presto docs.

It does use the query API, and okay, understood.

Would it be worth starting to maintain such a list? There might be other connectors in this pull via the query API mode and users of Prometheus might appreciate them being collected in one place.

I suspect not, a user presumably already knows what they want to use the query API with so there's not much point in listing the many many different systems out there that can process arbitrary time-series like data. Basically the integration works the other way around than for exporters.
