Step by step to start a Prometheus Server instance with a Docker container and a bind mount.
Create a prometheus.yml file.
Example:
# my global config
global:
scrape_interval: 15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. Default is every 1 minute.
evaluation_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default is every 1 minute.
# scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).
# Alertmanager configuration
alerting:
alertmanagers:
- static_configs:
- targets:
# - alertmanager:9093
# Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'.
rule_files:
# - "first_rules.yml"
# - "second_rules.yml"
# A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
# Here it's Prometheus itself.
scrape_configs:
# The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
- job_name: 'prometheus'
# metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
# scheme defaults to 'http'.
static_configs:
- targets: ['localhost:9090']
- job_name: 'node_vps'
static_configs:
- targets: ['vps.example.com']
scheme: 'https'
In the same directory than the created configuration file prometheus.yml, create the below dos file.
@echo off
REM Create the prom container from the prometheus image
SET SCRIPT_PATH=%~dp0
cd %SCRIPT_PATH%
docker run ^
--name prom ^
-d ^
-p 9090:9090 ^
-v %cd%:/etc/prometheus ^
prom/prometheus
where:
And run it:
prometheus-docker-run.cmd
docker stop prom
docker start prom
