Re: [prometheus-developers] Scraping metrics from Splunk Logs

[Julius Volz]

Hi Sudhakar,

This is the development mailing list for Prometheus - questions about usage are better asked (and you'll get better replies) on the Prometheus users mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/prometheus-users (see also https://prometheus.io/community/).

Cheers,

Julius

I'm new to Prometheus and have gone through the documentation not clear on couple of things related to collecting metrics:

1. How do I scrape metrics from Splunk logs?  

Context: All application logs are sent to Splunk.  You have the visibility of how the application is functioning based on the logs.  Is there a way to easily scrape for interested log events related to Business use case and build metrics and transfer to Prometheus?

2. How do I scrape custom database tables on both MySQL & Oracle?

Context: Is there a way we can build custom metrics based on user defined DB tables?  

Example, say we have a user master table.  And say, there are 1K accounts created in a day, is there a way we can scrape number of user accounts created each hour?

I understand, we could scrape a Counter based on user create api end point.  We are trying to compare results from Rest api vs. What is stored in DB?

And lastly, I see most of the documentation is focused on Application performance metrics.  Is there any documentation available related to Business KPI's, etc?

Thanks!
