Prometheus.

## Usage

### Options
```shell
$ go run ./cmd/boulder-observer/main.go -help
-config string
Path to boulder-observer configuration file (default "config.yml")
```

### Starting the boulder-observer daemon
```shell
$ go run ./cmd/boulder-observer/main.go -config test/config-next/observer.yml

## Configuration
Configuration is provided via a YAML file.

`debugaddr`: is the Prometheus scrape port expressed as `:` + `port
number`

`syslog`: a map of log levels for `stdoutlevel` and `sysloglevel`
```text
0: EMERG
1: ALERT
2: CRIT
3: ERR
4: WARN
5: NOTICE
6: INFO
7: DEBUG
```

`monitors`: a list of monitors, see [configuration/monitors](#monitors)

example:
```yaml
debugaddr: :8040
syslog:
stdoutlevel: 6
sysloglevel: 6
monitors:
-
...
```

### Monitors
`period`: the interval, in seconds, to attempt a query/ request

`kind`: the kind of prober to use for the query/ request

`settings:` is map of Prober settings, the schema for which is
determined by the prober. See [probers/DNS](#DNS) and
[probers/HTTP](#HTTP).

example:
```yaml
monitors:
-
period: 5s
kind: DNS
settings:
...
```
### Probers

#### DNS
`protocol`: `udp` or `tcp`

`server`: (`hostname` or `ipv4/6 address`) + `port` (e.g.
`example.com:53` or `1.1.1.1:53` or `2606:4700:4700::1111:53`)

`recurse`: `true` if recursive resolution is desired else `false`

`query_name`: `name` to query (e.g. `example.com`)

`query_type`: record type to query, supported options are: `A`, `AAAA`,
`TXT`, or `CAA`

example:
```yaml
monitors:
-
period: 5s
kind: DNS
settings:
protocol: tcp
server: owen.ns.cloudflare.com:53
recurse: false
query_name: letsencrypt.org
query_type: A
```

#### HTTP
`url`: `scheme` + `hostname` to send a request to (e.g.
https://example.com)

`rcodes`: list of expected 'successful' HTTP response codes

example:
```yaml
monitors:
-
period: 2s
kind: HTTP
settings:
url: http://letsencrypt.org/FOO
rcodes: [200, 404]
```

## Metrics
Observer provides the following metrics.

### obs_monitors
Count of configured monitors.

**Labels:**

`name`: name of the monitor

`type`: type of prober the monitor is configured to use

`valid`: whether the monitor configuration was valid

### obs_observations
Time taken, in seconds, for a monitor to perform a query/ request.

**Labels:**

`name`: name of the monitor

`type`: type of prober the monitor is configured to use

`result`: whether the query/ request was successful

**Bucketed response times:**

`.1, .25, .5, 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 30, 45`

## Development

### Starting Prometheus locally
Please note, this requires a local prometheus binary.
```shell
prometheus --config.file=boulder/test/prometheus/prometheus.yml
```

### Viewing metrics locally
When developing with a local prometheus instance, you can use this link
to view metrics:
