Migrate to Prometheus Community?

[SuperQ]

Is there any interest in maintaining this exporter? Maybe we could move it to the Prometheus Community repos?

https://github.com/prometheus-community

Hi @SuperQ thanks for your interest.

I'm not sure sure how much that organization is open to accept repos that has not been well maintained by someone, so I think we need an active maintainer for this project anyway.
Let me try to do some cleanup for this project within a week first. In any case are you interested in helping to maintain this project?

[SuperQ]

Yes, as one of the Prometheus maintainers, I would be willing to sponsor getting maintenance started.

One of the things I was looking at was your prometheus-exporter-harness code. I think that something like that would be really useful for https://github.com/prometheus/common.

oh that's nice :) Let me prepare to transfer the ownership.

Oh it's interesting to hear heat. I thought most exporter authors are just relying on standard prom modules because its just enough.

so when it's ready I'll just ping you and move the ownership, does it works?

[SuperQ]

I filed an issue in the community tracker for this.

There are two ways to do the move.

• I can grant you an admin role to move the exporter. You can continue to be a contributor to the exporter.
• You can grant me admin access to this project and I can do the move for you.

Either way, you're welcome to continue to be a maintainer/contributor of the project after the move.

@SuperQ ok that works. Let me add you as an admin.
Before that one quick question; what's the difference between github.com/prometheus-community and github.com/prometheus ? Apparently both contains various repositories of exporter implementations.

[SuperQ]

FYI, It turns out it's not possible to make others "admin" on "personal" repos. I will create a group on prometheus-community so it can be moved.

• github.com/prometheus is for "official" projects maintained by the core team.
• github.com/prometheus-community is where we're putting community maintained projects. If a community project is popular enough, and there are enough core team members available, we may build a process to graduate them to the "official" org.

@SuperQ I see, thanks for the clarification!

I assume it's not ready yet? I've just tried to transfer the ownership but failed by lack of permission on prometheus-community.

[SuperQ]

I sent an invite to join the json_exporter team, but it looks like it expired a couple days ago. Once you accept the invite, you can transfer the project.

[kawamuray]

@SuperQ Ugh, sorry it seems that I overlooked the previous invitation.
I've just transferred the ownership and now this repo is at prometheus-community.
Thanks for your help :)
