Feature request: Add Syslog monitoring?

[scottharman]

Hi guys - if my router state changes (due to a resync or reboot for example) is there a way to monitor this trough the existing prometheus image, then trigger a new speed test and ping test immediately?

More accurately - that's what I want to do, but is there a better/more sane way to achieve this?
Cheers

I would think you might need something like this to expose the syslog to Prometheus:

https://github.com/brandond/syslog_ng_exporter

Including some additional config in Prometheus.

Not sure how you would then trigger a new speedtest and ping in the corresponding containers.

One way would be through Prometheus alert manager.

• How to Alertmanager running shell-script prometheus/alertmanager#2046

And use docker exec to trigger a new speedtest and ping in the respective containers.

I'll try that - thank you!

Maybe it's as easy as monitoring the pings in Alertmanager and when a couple fail, then trigger another collection of metrics collections in Prometheus after a minute?

Don't think you'll need the docker exec I mentioned. The whole Prometheus structure is a pull reporting structure.
