This effort is to help me understand on how to setup prometheus server, push gateway and its alert manager from start to end without any tools from the market.
I would've simply used the docker images which prometheus gives, however this excercise is purely for my own learning purpose on how things work.
- Create a docker network for this entire setup first:
docker network create --driver=bridge prom-network - Clone this repo
- From the parent directory, run:
docker image build -t vimal/prometheus:1.0 .
cd node-exporter-docker
docker image build -t vimal/node-exporter:1.0 .
cd ../alert-manager-docker
docker image build -t vimal/alertmanager:1.0 .
cd ..- Create the prometheus container:
docker run --name prometheus-vimal --network prom-network -p 9090:9090 -v /Users/vimal/development/playground/prometheus-playground/prom-docker/prometheus.yml:/usr/mware/prometheus/prometheus.yml -v /Users/vimal/development/playground/prometheus-playground/prom-docker/alert.rules.yml:/usr/mware/prometheus/alert.rules.yml --rm -dt vimal/prometheus:1.0I've created two volume points here, one for prometheus configuration and another for alert rules. Please refer those files
- Create the node exporter container:
docker run --name node-exporter-vimal --network prom-network -p 9100:9100 --rm -dt vimal/node-exporter:1.0- Create the alert manager container:
docker run --name alertmanager-vimal --network prom-network -p 9093:9093 --rm -dt vimal/alertmanager:1.0- Prometheus: http://localhost:9090/
- Node Exporter: http://localhost:9100/metrics
- Alert Manager: http://localhost:9093/
