GitHub - peekjef72/httpapi_exporter: generic http REST API exporter · GitHub
This exporter wants to be a generic REST API exporter. That's mean it can login, then makes requests to urls to collect metrics and performs transformations on values and finally returns metrics in prometheus format.

February 3, 2020Getting volume capacity utilization data from API
Have you configured OnCommand Unified Manager, this will do alerting based on capacity utilisation with different threshold levels. It is also pretty good with custom reports/graphs that can be scheduled to email these outputs to a list of email addresses. OCUM is included with your base bundle available from the NetApp software download page. Alternatively you can use the API to create your own outputs, I've done this in the past with powershell, NetApp WorkFlow Automation tool can provide powershell output examples.. More on reddit.com

April 24, 2018Running multiple exporters = multiples process, ports, ... ?
in general this is the case. As far as configuration management, yeah you’ll sort of need to deal with that somehow. Here’s one reason you don’t necessarily want just one super-exporter. It would mean all your metrics are in a single basket and failure of you super exporter might lead to signal failure across many services. You don’t usually want that. You want to limit your blast radius as it were, in case of exporter failure, need for restarts due to config changes, etc. On our docker nodes, we do exactly what the other commenter posted, we reverse proxy lots of exporters through a traefik reverse proxy using url path to determine which exporter to proxy. When traefik goes down or restarts, we have a momentary metrics drop-out for the whole node, but we sort of accept it. In k8s, we have separate Ingress per exporter specifically to avoid that problem. More on reddit.com

REST API exporter
The best method isn't to write an exporter, but rather to directly instrument the application to expose the needed metrics. What language is your application written in? ... Either email addresses are anonymous for this group or you need the view member email addresses permission to view the original message ... For my scenario, it's Java-based. I'll reach out to the developers to see if they are open to the idea of adding a Prometheus metrics endpoint.

r/PrometheusMonitoring on Reddit: Using Prometheus to ingest from foreign APIs
February 3, 2020 -
Greetings
I'm very new to Prometheus so I come here for pointers from the community.
My goal is to monitor a hardware device which exposes a nice REST API that contains all the data but not formatted specifically for monitoring.
What is the best approach/tool to have Prometheus "read" the data through this API?
Thanks in advance

Write your own exporter (there are Prometheus client libraries for various languages) that queries the API and exposes its data in the Prometheus format: https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/clientlibs/ https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/writing_exporters/

As others have said, look at writing your own exporter to translate the API to a prometheus format. Best bet is to look at other exporters in a language you are comfortable with and copy them.

The service API can be seen as an third party application that exposes some kind of data (of it's internal state) that could be exposed to Prometheus.
