I have a spring boot application running in a Nomad cluster with Consul Connect enabled.
network {
mode = "bridge"
}
service {
name = "api"
port = "9966"
connect {
sidecar_service {}
}
}
There is no port mapping defined and the API is reachable only within consul service mesh through the proxy. Now I have prometheus running in the same cluster. How does prometheus discover the individual API instances and scrape metrics out of it. I used the below config. But without having a mapping port in the host level, it is not able to reach the individual API instance.
- job_name: 'actuator'
metrics_path: /api/actuator/prometheus
consul_sd_configs:
- server: '{{ env "NOMAD_IP_prometheus_ui" }}:8500'
services: ['api']
How to solve this problem? What is general practice to scrape metrics from a spring boot application running inside a service mesh with no host port mapping?
