Prometheus学习笔记——安装Prometheus Server

Prometheus基于Golang编写，编译后的软件包，不依赖于任何的第三方依赖。用户只需要下载对应平台的二进制 包，解压并且添加基本的配置即可正常启动Prometheus Server。

从二进制包安装

对于非Docker用户，可以从https://prometheus.io/download/找到最新版本的Prometheus Sevrer软件 包：

export VERSION=2.4.3 
curl -LO https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v$VERSION/prometheus-$VERSION.darwin- amd64.tar.gz

解压，并将Prometheus相关的命令，添加到系统环境变量路径即可：

tar -xzf prometheus-${VERSION}.darwin-amd64.tar.gz 
cd prometheus-${VERSION}.darwin-amd64

解压后当前目录会包含默认的Prometheus配置文件promethes.yml:

# my global config 2. global: 3. scrape_interval: 15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. Default is every 1 minute. 4. evaluation_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default is every 1 minute. 5. # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s). 6.7. # Alertmanager configuration 8. alerting: 9. alertmanagers: 10. - static_configs: 11. - targets: 12. # - alertmanager:9093 13. 14. # Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'. 15. rule_files: 16. # - "first_rules.yml" 17. # - "second_rules.yml" 18. 19. # A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape: 20. # Here it's Prometheus itself. 21. scrape_configs: 22. # The job name is added as a label `job=` to any timeseries scraped from this config. 23. - job_name: 'prometheus' 24. 25. # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics' 26. # scheme defaults to 'http'.
28. static_configs: 29. - targets: ['localhost:9090']

Promtheus作为一个时间序列数据库，其采集的数据会以文件的形似存储在本地中，默认的存储路径为 data/ ，因 此我们需要先手动创建该目录：mkdir -p data

用户也可以通过参数 --storage.tsdb.path=“data/” 修改本地数据存储的路径。

启动prometheus服务，其会默认加载当前路径下的prometheus.yaml文件：./prometheus
正常的情况下，你可以看到以下输出内容：

1. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.499484Z caller=main.go:554 msg="Starting TSDB ..."
2. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.499531Z caller=web.go:397 component=web msg="Start listening for connections" address=0.0.0.0:9090 
3. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.507999Z caller=main.go:564 msg="TSDB started" 
4. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.508068Z caller=main.go:624 msg="Loading configuration file" filename=prometheus.yml 
5. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.509509Z caller=main.go:650 msg="Completed loading of configuration file" filename=prometheus.yml
6. level=info ts=2018-10-23T14:55:14.509537Z caller=main.go:523 msg="Server is ready to receive web requests."

使用容器安装

对于Docker用户，直接使用Prometheus的镜像即可启动Prometheus Server：
docker run -p 9090:9090 -v /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml prom/prometheus
