Use case assistance for a newbie Prometheus Python

[maco1717]

Hi,

I am to get this working.

I have not previous experience with Grafana.

And no experience with Prometheus either.

I want to use Prometheus as a datasource (if possible) because from my research it will work better with my stack.

For starters I am just trying to add manually some static values on Prometheus that will then be passes to Grafrana to be and there I would like to see the data and then of course graph it.

I am trying to add this to Prometheus at this moment

http_requests_total{country_code="US"} = 1

I am using prometheus_client from Python

But I am not sure of what the script needs to to exactly to show that data on the server's endpoint.

But then once I got that data on the server endpoint how do I get Grafrana to show the data based on labels?

And is possible could someone advise on how do I do to parse the old logs BUT also update new entries added to the logs?

I am working with Nginx

I tried playing around with the following link and use it as a reference but I have desisted as it apered to be outdated and it wont work straight away also that uses influxDB which I would have then have to adapt to prometheus anyway.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks,
