Prometheus Jenkins error (Status : down)

[Vaibhav Mishra]

Hi ,

I started using prometheus with jenkins and after configuring for prometheus.yml I still get the status as down .

Jenkins:port-8080

Prometheus port : 9090

Jenkins and Prometheus both are running in docker on bridge .

- job_name: ‘jenkins’

  metrics_path: /prometheus

  static_configs:

    - targets: [‘localhost:8080’]

This update i did in prometheus.yml.

If anyone can he;p me to solve this issue .

If you go to the prometheus UI and look in the "Status > Targets" menu option, you'll see a description of why the target is down.

You can also test using curl and see what response you get:

curl 'http://localhost:8080/prometheus'

Note: if these are two separate docker containers on a bridge, then I doubt that "localhost" can be used to access one container from the other one.  Try using the container name.

and yes these are two separate docker containers on bridge . how can i use container name in prometheus.yml to access.

Add flag "-v" to see the response:

curl -v 'http://localhost:8080/prometheus'

To access the other container, try using its container name (as shown by "docker ps") and hope that docker resolves it for you, e.g.

curl -v 'http://myjenkinscontainer:8080/prometheus'
