Promtool: Add querying functionality

[beorn7]

We want to replace prometheus_cli with promtool.

See also prometheus-junkyard/prometheus_cli#9

[alileza]

Does anyone working on this?

[beorn7]

I don't think so. @fabxc might know more about the current state about the API client library. See prometheus-junkyard/prometheus_cli#9

[fabxc]

No one is currently working on this.
I'm happy to provide guidance to anyone willing to tackle this.

Nice, i guess i'll try to start working on this.

[fabxc]

Sounds great!
Be aware of the API client package:
https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/api/prometheus

I've recently been thinking about kicking out the dependency on the model
package. But with vendoring those potential changes are not blocking.

Ok, so basically we want to move prometheus_cli features into promtool using client_golang api?

hmm, also about model what do you mean by not blocking?

[alileza]

is this changes is what we expect on promtool? if it is, i'll continue to work on query_range etc and submit at PR.

Sorry, dropped the ball here. Yes, this all sounds good to me. What @fabxc tried to say about the prometheus/common/model dependency is essentially "don't worry". @fabxc Please shout if there is anything else to say at this point.

What's the status of this issue?
I saw the Hacktoberfest label and I want to start contributing to the Prometheus project.

If this is still needed I would love to try fixing this one. Also if there are some instructions/guidelines I would appreciate them.

Not sure how far we want to go with this, but for a quickstart I threw this together a while ago, and just queried further with jq. It's not much, but it's a start https://gist.github.com/brancz/1c252d4c87a48c80df7c6b046823c466

Questions we may want to ask ourselves is, which format(s) do we want to output? Interactive? One-off?

Personally I don't think this needs any dependency on common/model, but that also somewhat depends on what we want to build here.

Hey! I'd be interested working on this.

[krasi-georgiev]

based on the original issue this is now fixed
