how to setup prometheus in django rest framework and docker

Question

I want to monitoring my database using prometheus, django rest framework and docker,

all is my local machine, the error is below:

well the error is the url http://127.0.0.1:9000/metrics, the http://127.0.0.1:9000 is the begging the my API, and I don't know what's the problem, my configuration is below

my requirements.txt

django-prometheus

my file docker: docker-compose-monitoring.yml

version: '2'
services:
    prometheus:
        image: prom/prometheus:v2.14.0
        volumes:
           - ./prometheus/:/etc/prometheus/
        command:
           - '--config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml'
        ports:
           - 9090:9090
    grafana:
        image: grafana/grafana:6.5.2
        ports:
           - 3060:3060

my folder and file prometheus/prometheus.yml

global:
   scrape_interval: 15s
rule_files:
scrape_configs:
- job_name: prometheus
  static_configs:
      - targets:
          - 127.0.0.1:9090
- job_name: monitoring_api
  static_configs:
      - targets:
          - 127.0.0.1:9000

my file settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS=[
    ...........
    'django_prometheus',]

MIDDLEWARE:[
    'django_prometheus.middleware.PrometheusBeforeMiddleware',
    ......
    'django_prometheus.middleware.PrometheusAfterMiddleware']

my model.py

from django_promethues.models import ExportMOdelOperationMixin

class MyModel(ExportMOdelOperationMixin('mymodel'), models.Model):
     """all my fields in here"""

my urls.py

url('', include('django_prometheus.urls')),

well the application is running well, when in the 127.0.0.1:9090/metrics, but just monitoring the same url, and I need monitoring different url, I think the problem is not the configuration except in the file prometheus.yml, because I don't know how to call my table or my api, please help me.

bye.

you need to change your config of prometheus and add python image in docker-compose like this:

config of prometheus(prometheus.yaml):

global:
  scrape_interval: 15s # when Prometheus is pulling data from exporters etc
  evaluation_interval: 30s # time between each evaluation of Prometheus' alerting rules

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: django_project   # your project name
    metrics_path: /metrics
    static_configs:
      - targets:
        - web:8000

docker-compose file for prometheus and django , you can also include grafana image, I have installed grafana locally:


version: '3.7'

services:
web:
  build:
  context: .  # context represent path of your dockerfile(dockerfile present in the root dir)
command: sh -c "python3 manage.py migrate &&
        gunicorn webapp.route.wsgi:application --pythonpath webapp --bind 0.0.0.0:8000"
volumes:
  - .:/app

ports:
  - "8000:8000"

prometheus:
  image: prom/prometheus
  ports:
    - "9090:9090"
  volumes:
    - ./prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml #prometheus.yaml present in the root dir

Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.8

COPY ./webapp/django /app
COPY ./requirements.txt /app/requirements.txt
WORKDIR /app
RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt*strong text*

For prometheus settings in django: https://pypi.org/project/django-prometheus/

Hit django app api's.
Hit localhost:8000/metrics api.
Hit localhost:9090/ and search for the required metrics from the dropdown and click on execute it will generate result in console and create graph
To show graph in the grafana hit localhost:3000 and create new dashboard.
