Hi, just want to say that i chanced upon using prometheus while trying to conduct a load test. This is really interesting tool! I deployed a postgres exporter to expose certain metrics from my postgres instance. Encountered some issues as there wasnt too many tutorials about how to do this in azure managed prometheus. But nonetheless managed to figure it out. I watched most of your video in one ago just afew hours ago, and these are really useful knowledge, including those tips in grafana. thank you!
Thanks! You can find Python examples at prometheus.github.io/client_python/instrumenting/histogram/ and Java at prometheus.github.io/client_java/getting-started/metric-types/#histogram
Great playlist, however it would be helpful if you can fix the order of the playlist from getting started to more advance topic like histogram and counter rates, etc
Thanks for the suggestion, I reordered the videos a bit. They're not really meant to be building on each other in any particular order or curriculum, so not sure if the new order is that much better :)
You can use the snapshot API (prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#snapshot) to create a snapshot of the entire TSDB that can be copied / backed-up to somewhere else. Just drop it back in place as Prometheus' data directory when you want to restore it. Triggering a snapshot via the API requires the admin API to be enabled via the "--web.enable-admin-api" command line flag.
