You will have to install Prometheus Node Exporter because It will expose Prometheus metrics about the host machine it is running on. Now you can access your Prometheus server at and you can check it is collecting metrics about itself by visiting Installing Node Exporter (Note - You will need to replace container_id with your actual Container ID)įind out where on the host’s filesystem the metrics storage volume is stored using the following command. You can inspect the logs of the running Prometheus server using the container ID, execute the following command to do so. You can list all running Docker container using the following command. The above command will pull the docker image from the Docker Hub. docker run -d -p 9090:9090 -v ~/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml prom/prometheus -config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml =/prometheus -chunks=10000 Next, start the Prometheus Docker container with the external configuration file using the following command. Replace YourServerIP with your actual server IP address. job_name: 'node' scrape_interval: 5s target_groups: - targets: job_name: 'prometheus' scrape_interval: 5s target_groups: - targets: # Scrape the Node Exporter every 5 seconds. scrape_configs: # Scrape Prometheus itself every 5 seconds. # A scrape configuration scraping a Node Exporter and the Prometheus server # itself. nano ~/prometheus.ymlĪdd the following contents to the file. Here, we will use the Docker image’s default behavior of using a Docker data volume to store the metrics.įirst of all, create a Prometheus configuration file using any text editor. There are so many patterns available for organizing the storage of metrics. The Prometheus server is responsible for collecting and storing metrics as well as processing expression queries and generating alerts. In this section, we will be installing the Prometheus server using Docker. sudo pip install docker-compose Installing Prometheus Now, you can install Docker Compose using the following command. Before installing Docker Compose you’ll have to install ‘python-pip’ as it is required to install Docker Compose. You have successfully installed Docker on your server. Login again your server to activate your new groups. Next, you will need to add the user to docker group for working with docker. The above command downloads and executes a small installation script written by the Docker team. Here we will install Docker by downloading their installation script, it is the quickest way to install Docker. sudo apt-get update Installing DockerĪs we know, we will be installing Prometheus using Docker, let’s install Docker first if you haven’t already. So, let’s upgrade all the available packages using the following command. We recommend you to install any new packages on a freshly updated server. Your ECS instance must have at least 1GB RAM and 1 Core processor. If you don’t know about how to set up your ECS instance, you can refer to this tutorial or quick-start guide. If you are a new user, you can get a free account in your Alibaba Cloud account.
