How to make push work?

[olegantonyan]

I have problems with pushes.
curl to pushgate works, but this does not:

require 'prometheus/client'
require 'prometheus/client/push'
prometheus = Prometheus::Client.registry
counter = Prometheus::Client::Counter.new(:something_here, 'hello world')
counter.increment({ service: 'foo' })
counter.increment({ service: 'foo' })
counter.increment({ service: 'foo' })
counter.increment({ service: 'foo' })
Prometheus::Client::Push.new('job-1', nil, 'http://my-pushgate:9091').add(prometheus)

I don't see something_here counter in http://my-pushgate:9091/metrics. Only push_time_seconds

What am I doing wrong?

I think the issue is that you're not registering the metric, and it's therefore not in the registry you're pushing. Try replacing your 4th line with

counter = prometheus.counter(:something_here, 'hello world')`
