OK, another silly question. Does anybody use prometheus? I just installed it but I'm not having much luck getting started with it. I installed it fromthe Leap 15.0 repositories. It runs and --version tells me: prometheus, version 2.1.0 (branch: non-git, revision: non-git) build user: abuild@lamb69 build date: 20180513-03:46:03 go version: go1.9.4 so at least it runs. I can't find any opensuse docs to tell me about anything specific (no man page in particular) so I'm relying on the 'Starting' section in https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/first_steps/ which is not brilliant. I first tried running as my own user and failed with lack of permission to create /var/lib/prometheus/metrics so then I tried as root, which seemed to work but seems a bit weird, so then I tried user prometheus and that worked too, so is probably right, but it would be nice if there was opensuse docs to say so, and/or something on the web page to indicate it. Anyway, I then fired up a browser and pointed it at http://localhost:9090/graph and got a display. But it doesn't seem to work like https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/first_steps/ says it should. I assume it means 'choose the "Console" view alongside the "Graph" tab' as opposed to what it does say. But it just says 'no data'. I assume that 'the expression console' is the text box at the top of the screen but nothing happens when I put the recommended string into it, and if I hit Execute, it says 'No datapoints found' Prometheus appears to log to the console where it was started, but apart from some messages saying it has started, there's nothing to indicate any problems. In /var/lib/prometheus/metrics/wal I have two files, one is 434K and the other is 256M so it's certainly storing something! What it is if not datapoints is beyond me. So anybody know what's going on? Or can point me to some better/more accurate documentation? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
