Prometheus Trait

The Prometheus trait configures a Prometheus-compatible endpoint. It also creates a PodMonitor resource, so that the endpoint can be scraped automatically, when using the Prometheus operator.

The metrics are exposed using MicroProfile Metrics.

The creation of the PodMonitor resource requires the Prometheus Operator custom resource definition to be installed. You can set pod-monitor to false for the Prometheus trait to work without the Prometheus Operator.

The Prometheus trait is disabled by default.

This trait is available in the following profiles: Kubernetes, Knative, OpenShift.

Configuration

Trait properties can be specified when running any integration with the CLI:

$ kamel run --trait prometheus.[key]=[value] --trait prometheus.[key2]=[value2] integration.groovy

The following configuration options are available:
